Hello,
I have received the first dose of hepatitis B virus vaccine a month ago, and now it is time to receive the second boosting dose.

The problem is, I've been sick since Friday (I have fever and cough), being afraid it may be a Covid-19 infection, I decided to self isolate myself at home since I started feeling sick.
Or simply, I may have acute tonsilitis as I had it many times before, and it is the same symptoms I get every time, but I am not sure.

I live in a small village and we dont have much medical facilities that allow me to do the test and make sure. No one actually does the test here, that is why we don't have official cases.

Now the question is, what will happen if I delayed the second boosting dose a little bit till I feel well? And what is the safe range in which I can delay it? Or what should I do?

Thanks for help!
