Hi Jeff,
As with any vaccine it takes at least 14 days for it to become fully effective,and it should be remembered that for a vaccine to become effective the dogs immune system has to actually fight off a weakened version of the virus it is endeavouring to become immune to.
For that reason it's important to first of all keep the dog reasonably quiet with no exercise at all other than walking for the first 24 hours after the immunisation procedure, and then if possible avoid strenuous exercise for at least five days to give its body a chance to recover somewhat after the initial infection.
Cheers, Tom
