You can take it a little later than recommended rather than early. There is no advantage of taking vaccines early because they are not effective if taken early. But you can take it 2 days early if there will be a delay of more than 1 week

Hello.
The vaccination schedule has been designed specifically after a lot of research and studies about factors that effect the development of the immunity against the specific disease. Hence it is recommended to take the vaccine on the specified date only. You can delay it by a week or so but I do not recommend taking the vaccine earlier than the scheduled date.
