People Who Have Had COVID-19
If you are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine but have recently had a COVID-19 infection, you can wait to receive your next dose until 84 days (3 months) months after symptom onset or positive test (if asymptomatic). Emerging evidence indicates that a longer interval (ie. 6 months) between SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination is associated with improved antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccines. With informed consent, individuals may choose to receive a booster dose once symptoms have been resolved and isolation period is complete.
