Should I be worried about having received the vaccine while I was positive for COVID?

If you have received the vaccine while being positive for COVID, it is generally recommended to wait 8 weeks to 3 months after the infection before getting a dose of the vaccine. However, an infection can provide similar protection to a third dose, so it may not be necessary to get a booster shot if you have already had the disease. Other factors, like the possibility of a false positive, should also be considered. In conclusion, a third dose or the prior infection should provide you with adequate protection.
