Yes- it is at risk of picking up illnesses like Parvo because it hasnt been fully immunised. However- between 3-14 weeks is a dogs Critical Stage- this is when your pup will learn everything it needs to learn about the world, how to act in different situations, and how to interact with different animals, dogs, and people. Without proper socilisation at this age your dog is at high risk of developing behavioural and social problems, and is also more susceptable to health problems. This has been a long standing argument with vets and behaviouralists. A vet who specialises in canine behaviour, however, will tell you that it is important to get the pup out and about at this age- even if there is a risk. You can reduce the risk by only allowing your pup near other dogs that have been vaccinated. Puppy play school is a great option. A dog walker would also be a great option- the pup should only require short walks and will most likely not come across too many dogs. If you can find a doggy day care to care for your pup it would be ideal- as the people who run the place should be well aware of the risks of disease- and the benefits of socilisation and training at this age, so your pup should be safe. Pembroke welsh corgis are fantastic dogs- but they are very active- so it is great that you are planning on entertaining your dog when you are not home to care for it! Good luck!
