You're vet will usually advise you when it's okay to go out in public (or anywhere other dogs might have been) and maybe even your yard if circumstances are right (known illness in the house). It's after (72 hours to 1 week after on average) the last set of puppy shots. Puppies receive vaccinations sometimes starting at 6 weeks (some breeds are very prone to parvo like Rott's, Doby's and Pit's though they aren't the only ones and exposure to carriers and survivors can be a factor). Then from 8 weeks on about every 3 or 4 weeks until the age of 4 or 5 months depending on the veterinarians experience with diseases prevalent in the area and at that particular time and preference. Rabies is given anywhere between 3 and 6 months (if six they can usually go out before that it's the other's that are usually the main factor). Other vaccines may be recommended based on area, lifestyle, and what your pet is likely to be exposed to (like lyme).
Puppies receive so many vaccinations so that we can be reasonably sure they were effective as their pre-existing levels (titers) may be too high or too low for any given shot to work so we try to find the window of opportunity. Nothing is 100% guarantee, but one or two sets and your puppy isn't likely protected for everything as it's usually one of the last sets that works! It is very important to follow the vaccination schedule as it is timed to be the most effective for most pups. You CAN run constant titer level tests but that's not really feasible as puppies and can be costly so it's best to just use the standard protocol and follow your vet's direction :-).
