I’ve been on the Depo shot 3 months now. I’m a few day away from getting my 2nd shot. Is it normal to bleed after intercourse? I’m not sure if I should be worried or if I should keep taking the shot?

It's very common to bleed during your first 2 to 3 shots. After that, it normally stops altogether.
The bleeding is more noticeable during/after sex, because the penetration knocks against your cervix, causing the blood to come away from the uterus/womb.
Please read my answers to some of the other posts on this Group, because there's a lot you should know about Depo, before making the decision to use it. Just in case you aren't aware.
