How old is your puppy? What your vet said is pretty much true. Your puppy will not be fully protected from parvo and distemper until he has had at least two more sets of shots. Here is the vaccination protocol that I recommend:

Since your puppy has already had one set of shots I would still wait three weeks from when he had his first shot before I gave him another shot. Then I would give him one more set after that. Until he is fully protected you need to keep him away from areas that other dogs have access to.
