Reinfection with COVID 19 is variable, depending on the length of time your antibodies last after the 1st infection. Usually it would be at least 3 to 6 months before the antibody levels fall. It is good you are taking precautions. People who have had COVID & wish to receive Covid vaccine can usually do so if 90 or more days have passed since infection.
