I suggest 10-14 days, as did Goldengal. That gives the body time to grow immunity. A vaccination works by inciting the immune system to create antibodies to a weakened or killed strain of the virus. That way, when a virulent microbe enters the system, the system has pre-recognized the virus, and can eliminate it with its own antibodies. Just like if you get chickenpox or mumps once, you can't ever get it again.

You want to wait until after your puppy has had their second round of shots, before interaction with other dogs. I would not suggest off leash parks though. Puppies and smaller dogs tend to be more victims of circumstance if there are fights that start.

I always recomend 10 to 14 days after the last shots. Then you know that the vacination has had time to work into the pups system.

You can take your puppy out right after the LAST shots, that what my vet told me.

At my surgery, we recommend waiting a week after the final course is given (we give 2 courses).
The dog's immune system won't be fully ready immediately after the final vaccination is given, it takes a little while to respond to the vaccine.
