Unfortunately once the pup has parvo immunising the others won't help unless you have already had them isolated.
The incubation period for parvo is roughly 2 weeks, meaning after they catch the virus it takes 2 weeks for them to start showing symptoms.
On top of that vaccinations take 2 weeks to actually become effective and go through their system.
How old are the pups? Do you have the sick pup isolated away from all the others? Have you thrown away or disinfected any bedding or surfaces the sick pup has been on?

Keep the puppy away from the other puppies and take it to the vet. You might need to have them all checked to be on the safe side
