Puppy vaccines are started at 6 weeks and include parvo. They are repeated every 3 weeks until the last injection is given at 16 weeks of age, then it boostered yearly. If he is hurting in his rear legs, limit his ability to jump and run. Try to let him rest until you can take him to a vet to see why there is pain and what medicines they can safely prescribe for his age.
