Hello, while we can see carrier states with Parvo, generally this is from naturally infected dogs that have survived the virus. It is extremely unlikely that a vaccinated dog will be a carrier of Parvovirus. I think your new puppy will be perfectly safe, as long as you protect the puppy from going anywhere other than your home & yard until he is fully vaccinated at 4 months of age.
