Yeah my first dose was in June and the date for second dose was July 8 but I got severe viral fever and then flu doctor said you may take the dose when you are okay and then I took my 2nd dose on Aug 9 I guess and it's okay.What I have understood so far is that, at the time of Covid vaccination, a person should be healthy/stable with strong immune system. Vaccines(sinopharm/sinovac) have dead/inactivated virus. One a person is injected with vaccine, his immune system respond to it and fights the dead virus and it keeps on fighting it for next 2/3/4 weeks and then stands guard incase virus strikes again. These are called antibodies.
The thing with common cold/flu is that, its also viral. Hence your immune system respond to it and starts fighting, till the time it defeats the virus and they take time to recover and get strong again.
Hence the reason its recommended not to get vaccinated if you are already suffering from cold/virus and get the corona shot afterwards once your immune system is out of battle and is stronger. Now how many days or weeks? That I don't know, could be just a week or could be 2/3 weeks.
Anyway, I once read a comment by @Baby Leone , who got common cold in middle of his 1st and second shot and doctor advised him to delay the second. May be he can put some insight.
