The puppy will be fine as far as being exposed to the sick human goes. What you want to avoid is taking your puppy out and about much until after it has completed all three sets of shots. The worry would be that you could walk your dog in a place where fecal matter that you might not even see, from an infected dog that had parvo, could come int contact with your puppy and your puppy then pick up parvo.

The puppy won't catch anything from the human, but getting shots can make the puppy get sick (tired, lack of appetite, sleepiness, dry nose). This is usually normal, and shouldn't last more than a day. If it does, or if the puppy is panting, not drinking water, has glazed eyes, a fever, or any swelling, you need to call the vet and tell them. You might have to take the puppy back in to get some medication.

All dogs can get any illness a human has. But if he has been started on his shots I would not worry to much. I f this really concerns you a lot then find out what sickness this person has and then check it out with your Vet.
When people say cats and dogs don't get human illness' they have no idea what they are talking about.
In fact dogs help people feel better when they are sick. I take mine to the Nursing home close by and they just love her and she is so happy when she goes there.

No. Diseases that affect more than one species are EXTREMELY RARE. The puppy won't get sick from a sick human, but watch out for the other humans.

Generally speaking, puppies can't contract disease from humans and vice versa because most viruses cannot "jump" between species. Do not, however, take your pup around other dogs until it has completed its last round of shots. It can catch a ton of nasty bugs from other dogs!

Most dx are species specific, so probably not. There are a few things that people can get from dogs, but not so many that dogs can get from people. dogs can be great therapy for sick people as well

Human diseases generally won't pass to canines. Don't worry about it.
If the sick person had sex with your dog that might make a difference so keep an eye on that.
