DS: What is your opinion on taking puppies to public places before they have completed their vaccinations?

[Ama]

I was on facebook the other day and was browsing a dog page, someone on there made a post saying that is it perfectly fine to take a puppy to public places(parks, pet stores, etc)*and let them be on the floor* before they complete their vaccinations and That people should stop saying otherwise.

Their reason being that it's important for socializing them that you take them to as many places as possible and let them meet different people/animals in different situation during the time when it's important that they're socialized.

There were a good amount of people that agreed with the person.

I do think that socialization is important but I have always thought it's better to avoid public places or at least keep the pup off the ground where other dogs could have been until they're completely vaccinated.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what others think of this, what your opinion on it is?
*No TDs will be given by me*

As always thank you in advance to anyone who answers my questions and shares their opinion on this.
@E.H Amos- Not at all. When my dog was a puppy I didn't really take her public places until she was completely vaccinated-she still got socialization even though I didn't(The only thing she didn't get socialized with was baby supplies*strollers, etc* and that's because I really didn't know anyone with children at the time-so she got socialized with that late).

That's why seeing that post and the amount of people who agreed surprised me(because I prefer to take the "safe route" for this and not take the chance).
