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

If you have had COVID-19, it is recommended to wait ideally 3 months before receiving a third dose of the vaccine. However, you can choose to receive it earlier, with a minimum wait of 8 weeks after your second dose. This delay allows for the antibodies from the infection to decrease, making the vaccine more effective. Ultimately, the decision to receive a third dose should be based on individual circumstances and consultation with a healthcare professional.
