Dear user,
I have no doubt that the time delay was minimal and no harm accrued to the vaccine. So, you don't need to repeat the vaccine. I have an official document that states that the un-reconstituted powder is stable at room temperature for as long as four weeks (http://www.path.org/vaccineresources/files/Temp_sensitivity_WHO.pdf)
