Should be: If anything the vaccine appears to provide a stronger level of antibody production /protection in some than the disease. Getting the shot no sooner than 3-6 weeks after the illness may have the same effect as the boosters given with normal vaccine use. If I were offered the opportunity in that situation I would do it.

Yes: It takes about 2 weeks for vaccine to help build adequate immunity & you would also have a certain degree of immunity from your COVID 19 infection. “The Moderna vaccine can provide 80.2% protection after one dose, compared to 95.6% after the second (in people aged 18 to 65 – it's 86.4% in those over 65)” REF: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210114-covid-19-how-effective-is-a-single-vaccine-

I have just recovered from COVID, but my spouse has now tested positive. I am the only one who leaves my house, so I was the one who infected her. Do I still need to quarantine as if I've been newly exposed to COVID? I have Pfizer vaccine/booster. TY?
