Hi
welcome to HCM
I understand your concern , you took the 5th dose seven days earlier than due date . There is no harm related to overdose but effect of vaccine may be less in that case , best option in that case would have been to take an extra dose 14 days after last dose .( I mean one extra dose )

Hope I answered your query
thanks
