Puppy being outside before 2nd vaccinations

My puppy is due her second vaccinations in two weeks, she goes into the garden and exercises in there as she can’t go on the floor outside the property in case other dogs have something she can catch before her immunity develops. My friend has a huge driveway, I’m single, she’s single and we are in a bubble. She has never had dogs on her driveway. There is no reason why she couldn’t have some exercise on that driveway is there? She isn’t more likely to catch something there than she in our garden is there?

Puppies really don’t need a great deal of exercise when they are younger. They are burning through energy by just doing puppy stuff. The risk isn’t just from other dogs but from foxes carrying parvo. If it’s an unenclosed driveway, that’s a real risk. In my view, it’s not worth it for the sake of a couple of weeks. We took our Lab on ‘cuddle walks’ about the village for socialisation, which I think he enjoyed. Maybe try this?
