My puppy had parvo. Can he get reinfected once he's home?

Question

My pup comes home tomorrow from staying in the vet while getting through parvo. I have been cleaning and bleaching the cement outside and the soil. Is there a chance he can get it again after he comes home ? Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | 1 month and 27 days old | 11 lbs

It is unlikely. Parvo, like chicken pox in people, is in a class of viruses that once your get it and your body makes an immune response to it, you cannot get it again. Any other puppy that goes there can be exposed to it through if not adequately vaccinated.
