Does it matter if a puppy gets their shot too early?

I know puppies need shots at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks. I was just wondering, does it matter if the puppy was taken in a few weeks too early to get the first shot and if it does matter why would a licensed vet give the puppy the shot?

Here's the story:

I have an 11 week old Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute mix named Sylar and I took her to the vet (not the same vet where she got her 1st shot) yesterday for her 2nd vaccination, I assume she got the 2nd shot. The vet's assistant said Sylar received her 1st shot at 6 weeks of age, which was too early, so she would need another one since the 1st shot would do nothing to protect her from whatever diseases its supposed to. So, does it really matter if a puppy gets their shot too early and if it is why would a licensed vet do so?

It shouldn't matter.. Your dog might just need to get another shot or two. Some vets are just in it for the money not really for the animal. Its so sad.
