Bust myths and learn the facts about COVID-19 vaccines
Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again. Studies have shown that vaccination provides a strong boost in protection in people who have recovered from COVID-19. Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.

If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.


Should I get vaccinated if I have already had Covid-19.......

"Those who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 should still be vaccinated. "There is no information that suggests that antibodies from a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection would interfere with vaccine efficacy."
I had it 5 weeks or so ago. I was told to wait 4 weeks :smile:
