I got impetigo and I’m due to get my Covid booster

hi all, hope you are all enjoying the nice weather although from indoors. I was going to the gym up to last week and since Tuesday I got impetigo in my face. At first I thought it was a cold sore but I don’t usually have cold sores and this was itchy and had a runny liquid so I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist gave me an antibiotic cream. I’ve been also being applying ACV and Tea Tree oil to it so I think it’s getting better. My question is I have my appointment for my covid booster on Tuesday. Should I get it or postpone it until the infection is completely gone? Thanks for any advise. Erika
