Yes: Since there is a shortage of vaccine, I would advise having the vaccine as scheduled. If you try to re schedule you may experience a long wait.

Go for it: Get Covid vaccine as soon as you can. tdap will not interfere with your immune response. Wish you good health!

You'll be fine: Our immune system is a miracle of simplicity born of complexity and is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. Many vaccines are already combinations like the Tdap (for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis). Precautions to separate vaccines exist when the combination has not been formally studied and to guard against amplifying the rare exaggerated response to the first shot by the 2nd.
