Can I take my 8 week puppy outside to use the potty?

I get my puppy this Friday I’m super excited but this group chat makes me extremely nervous. Any who I’m getting my 8 week puppy tomorrow he is a lab/husky mix. He will receive his first vaccine on Monday. I would like to start potty training as soon as possible… but I know bringing a puppy outside is very scary without vaccines.

I live in an apartment! We have a backyard area where I know my neighbors dog uses… next to us we have another apartment building that has no dogs and I never see anyone in that yard. Would it be safe to carry my puppy over to that yard to use the restroom and carry him back in? I will look at that area first to make sure no other feces before letting him down. I know a lot of viruses live in the soil and so on so I know it’s hard to be 100% safe. If you guys don’t think it’s safe I will definitely keep the little man in the house.

Im already stressing lol! I will be borrowing a puppy stroller until I know he is 100% safe to start walking outside. Thank you:) also I will take any other advice you guys recommend!!!
