He's not old enough for his rabies vaccination yet.He shouldn't get that until he is at least 20 weeks old.
He also doesn't need any more vaccinations until he is 12 -14 weeks and then a 3rd and final at 16-18 weeks.
Also NO coronavirus or adenovirus-1..these are NOT recommended for ANY puppy/dog EVER!!!

you have nothing to worry about they don't get rabie shots until 4 months.
check with he vet on when the next booster shot is due.
You might want to take A stool sample in to have it tested for worms to be safe.
don't take your pup out much yet the first set of boosters is very protective and your pup can still be susceptible to the diseases it's been vaccinated for.
don't let your pup on the floor at the vets as that is the worst place a pup can get the diseases and germs form.

Corona should not be given to pups. It is no longer recommended.
http://www.aahanet.org The american Animal Hospital Association has their recommendation online. This is the protocol that all 27 U.S. vet schools use.
As for the Rabies, it is not given to pups until 3-4 months, depending on the state that you live in.

You will be fine. If the pup had rabies you would know it and you would only be infected if he bite you and broke the skin. Do try to keep him away from strange animals and in your home and yard until after he has had his vacs to protect him but you don't need to worry about getting rabies.

6 – 8 weeks………. first puppy shot (DHLPP) + Corona
11 –12 weeks……. second puppy shot (DHLPP) + Corona
15-16 weeks……… third puppy shot (DHLPP) + Coronaover
4 months…… Rabies

how old is the puppy? i seriously doubt that he has rabies...unless he has been around wild animals or been bitten by one. if you are really worried, call your vet.
