You can take a Booster dose of vaccine. It will not affect your results of RTPCR. because RTPCR is not an antigen antibody test.
For more information please consult with me on Practo.

No link with vaccination and rtpcr. You can go ahead with vaccination As soon as possible.
Anyways, Airlines might ask for RTPCR, so u need to get it done as well .

You must take vaccination before international travel. The result usually gets affected if done immediately post vaccination within 3-4 days.
Also, your vaccination card is important to be completed before you travel
You can consult for detailed discussion
