Puppy vaccine booster: Is it safe if he missed his first shot?

Question

Hello , I have a 10 weeks Caucasian sheperd puppy , and today it took a vaccination, the problem is that the puppy health book is showing that the puppy took it first vaccination when it was 7 weeks and im not sure if it took it or not since i got the puppy when it was 8 weeks old. Question is the booster are the same as the 1st vaccine or diffirent dose diffirent thing? Can the vaccination it took affect the dog health if he didn't take his first vaccination? Plz check the attachmnt Thank you.

Distemper parvo vaccines are usually given every 3 weeks until they are 15-16 weeks old so he likely got a booster of the same or similar vaccine as he received when he was 7 weeks old. This is normal and not going to harm him either way. Today's vaccine should be effective whether or not he received one at 7 weeks old. He will need another distemper parvo vaccine in 3 weeks and again in 6 weeks from now. Your vet will also recommend some other vaccines dpenedent on your area. I would not take him to public places like a dog park or pet stores until he is completely vaccinated. I hope this helps!
