And I need to second KJC's recommendation that you ask your vet for an epi-pen. |
At twelve weeks, he probably isn't fully protected:
In one study of a cross section of different puppies the age at which they were able to respond to a vaccine and develop protection covered a wide period of time. At six weeks of age, 25% of the puppies could be immunized. At 9 weeks of age, 40% of the puppies were able to respond to the vaccine. The number increased to 60% by 16 weeks, and by 18 weeks of age, 95% of the puppies could be immunized.

I agree with Rhett's Mom. Your breeder started his vaccinations too early. She is partially to blame.
Here is a great explanation of titers:
