depending on how old your pup is you want to start out with the basic round of vaccines. They will tell you when to bring him in. Once he reaches a year old it will be once a year. Brush him at least once a week. Maybe more depending on the amount he sheds and his fur length. He should be going out for walks until he's six months old because he can catch viruses from other dogs and there's a high risk of getting parvo. Other than that take him out daily to play and run around or even do it in the house.

How old is the puppy, how many times has it been in the past, what is it's vaccine status, is it healthy. We need more deatils than "how often do I take my PUPPY to the vet?"
The puppy needs 3-4 rounds of vaccine boosters and multiple deworming. Normally this is done every 2-3 weeks. Once vaccines are done, the vet normally wants to see it again at 6 months (for castration). Then at 1 year. From them, once a year for vaccines.
Brushing depends on breed, so since you've given us SO MANY details....I can't help you.
You should walk a puppy every couple hours, sometimes more. This means walking a 3 and 4 in the morning too. Just because you can hold it all night, doesn't mean puppy can!

Vet for young puppy every 6 month, walk him at 5 least 4 times unless there is dog door and puppy can go out to urinate. Dogs older then 1 year must be walked 3 times a day. Brushing daily but not bathing will keep puppy hair shiny.

No offense, but you should really know this information before even getting a puppy.
Vet: He should go when you first get him. If he hasn't had his shots he'll need to get shots and come back for followup shots. he also needs to go yearly for checkups and tests.
Brush him: what kind of dog do you have? I never brush mine (labrador)
Walking: every day. he needs to do his business and if you do not have a yard he needs to be walked to pee and poop. he also uses that time as excersize if he is cooped up in a crate or a house for a long period of time.

Make sure he gets all the necessary vaccinations. Take him for a walk once a day, or more if you can work it into your routine.
Get a good book on dog-care/behavior. Plenty of them out there.
Good luck and have fun w/your puppy!
