When to get Depo again?

Alright, so I got my first depo shot and think I will be receiving my second shot soon.

The nurse gave me a card that said to come back between 5/5 and 5/26. My question is, inbetween those dates is the shot still effective and does it still as effective as it has been or should I go and get the next shot on the 5th?

I dont want to be worried about it or find out too late that I should have gone sooner and gotten it.

Also since I have been on it before and I had to wait b4 having unprotected sex the first time recieving the shot, will there be a wait time after having the second shot or will I be ok if I get the shot between those dates and not have to wait and be able to have unprotected sex that same day?

Thanx
