When can I receive the 3rd dose of the COVID vaccine if I have had the disease?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

To date, having had the disease confers equal protection to receiving the booster dose. It is therefore not necessary to receive a third dose for the time being: the antibodies are in fairly high circulation, and receiving the vaccine again would not provide better protection.

You can however, if you wish, receive it, but it is advised to wait ideally 3 months to receive it, and at least 8 weeks, if you had already received 2 doses.

I hope I've been of some help to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
