It's best if you fully recovered so that your immune system is at it's most efficient level to properly learn from the vaccine. Consult with your doctor when it's a good time to receive your next injection.

Ask your doctor; s/he is the one who knows your situation.

It depends on what you mean by "sick". Better have a consult since you said it has been 2 weeks, then ask the doctor during your consultation.

Better ask your Physician / Pharmacist.
As a Pharmacist I say it is not safe.

You should call your doctor and make sure it's okay to get the vaccine. Generally you are advised to wait until you're feeling well and healthy.
