Taking a puppy out in public before they have received all of their vaccines can expose them to a variety of diseases and illnesses that they are not yet protected against. Some of the common health risks of taking a puppy out in public prematurely include:

1. Parvovirus: A highly contagious virus that can cause severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.

2. Distemper: A viral disease that can attack the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems of puppies.

3. Kennel Cough: An infectious respiratory illness caused by various bacteria and viruses.

4. Leptospirosis: A bacterial disease that can infect the kidneys and liver, and be transmitted through contaminated water and soil.

In addition to these risks, puppies who have not been fully vaccinated may also be more susceptible to picking up parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and worms, which can cause additional health problems.

Therefore, it is important to wait until your puppy has received all of their vaccines and is protected against these diseases before taking them out in public.
