No worries

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.
Don't worry you won't get any side effect because of taking it a day before the scheduled date.
You should take your 3rd dose on your 7th day that would be 3rd of July.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
