Did your puppy get all his puppy shots?
Here is a place that lists the ages and minimum shots.

Yeah... he has everything but the rabies. I don't want to do it for a few weeks until he's use to things.

Most states require it by 6 months of age. Anytime after 14-16 weeks is considered safe and protective for the first year.

Do minimal vaccines..only parvo and distemper at puppy hood preferably seperate 2 weeks apart..no need for vaccines after that..reasearch has long proven that puppy vaccines last a lifetime..no need for boosters its a scam and could actually harm your pet..rabies only if a must..I would not do the rabies if my dogs didnt bite but since thats not the case my dogs have it just in case

Boostering vaccines is needed if the titers fall off, and the data does exist to support all of that. Most of the core vaccines last 2-7 years, and the only way to know is to check. Btu they do not last a lifetime and I don't know a single study to prove that opinion.
