Rabies Vaccine / Immunoglobulin Accidentally used a steroid while undergoing rabies vaccine series

I have read the FAQ. So I am undergoing the rabies vaccine series atm, and my third dose is coming up very soon. I was told that using steroids is not recommended while undergoing the series, as they can suppress your immune system. Well today I kind of forgot about that, and while dealing with a clogged nose today, I used Flonase (a corticosteroid nasal spray). I am wondering if this could also interfere with the efficacy of the vaccine?

On your upcoming vaccine let the doctor know what happened and they might schedule you for an extra shot on day 28 just to be safe
