Hello ma'am and welcome.
A shot given provides protection for a month or slightly longer, so you should be protected but it was wise to use the condom (although it did not help us in this situation), I do feel you are protected but I would advice you to use an emergency contraceptive pill (eg. unwanted 72 or pill), to be taken within the first 24 hours since the unprotected sexual contact for best results but can be taken until 72 hours till the unprotected sexual contact.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
