Congratulations on your new puppy! It is very important to get her vaccines started immediately! Parvo is a devastating disease that is highly preventable with appropriate vaccinations. Make an appointment with her veterinarian ASAP to start her vaccine series and get her tested for parasites. Until she finishes her vaccine series, you must avoid public areas as this is where she is most likely to pick up disease. You also need to start her on flea and heart worm prevention to help avoid her getting parasites that she can spread to humans. Lastly, plan on getting her spayed soon. Spayed female dogs are more likely to avoid several types of cancers and infections as well as unwanted pregnancies. Please post with any further questions!
