My puppy only had first shots, missed others for 4 months. Is he safe?

My puppy only had his first set of shots and after that hasn’t gotten anymore. It’s been four months, is that bad?

Yes, this isn't good because Kupa isn't protected against deadly diseases like parvo and distemper. Plus, by law, he should be rabies vaccinated by now, and since he's not, that's breaking the law. You need to get him into a vet asap to start his vaccine schedule over again, and start his rabies vaccine series.
