My vaccinated dog was exposed to parvo. Will my older dog be okay?

Question

My friend adopted a 3 month old puppy 6 days ago and this morning he was sick so I took him in and he tested positive for parvo. So after we took him back so he could get treatment I went back to my house, immediately put my clothes in the washer and went and took a shower but I had run out of body wash. I never was in contact with his vomit or feces, I just held him. My dog Kona is 6 years old and she had a parvo shot last year, and shes getting another on the 11th. Is she going to be okay?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

It is not likely that Kona will get Parvo as Parvo mainly attacks young dogs up to about 2 years of age. If Kona had the full course of vaccination (2 basic within 4 weeks , and then the yearly booster) then she is definitely protected, But even if not, she should not get Parvo at this age,
