I wouldn't be worried about going to people's homes, but still would want to avoid certain places. Using a carrier at places like Petsmart instead of allowing them to walk might be advantageous, if for no other reason than it takes them a long time to learn not to walk directly under someone's feet.

This is great advice!
I also do not know the exact amount of time after the puppy shots. I was super excited to bring Genghis into the public, but he was scared at first so the carrier helped him get over that as he had a safe place to retreat to. He still loves his carrier and we make him walk into his "box" before we take him anywhere.
