Self isolation instructions differ from gov.uk website #42

I reported a fever (after having measured my temperature at 38.2 and pulse 99), and the app said I should get a test and my household should self-isolate for 11 days.

But there was no place to report that I had the AstraZeneca vaccine yesterday. According to https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/information-for-uk-recipients-on-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca#possible-side-effects "If your fever is high and lasts longer than two or three days ... you should follow appropriate advice" doesn't that mean I don't need to worry if it's been 18 hours since my vaccine and no other symptoms?

If we must self-isolate then my wife would have to cancel her vaccine appointment for tomorrow. But I'm not convinced this matches the actual official advice for people who've just had the vaccine and experience known side effects.
