I would consider your immunity after natural covid much stronger than with any vaccine and consider not getting the booster for at least 90 days if at all. Some would suggest you wait 6 months. You did not indicate the type of vaccine used and local officials may have a different approach. However, if similar to US vaccines, and at your age I would hold off getting it for now.

It sounds like you did get your 2nd Covid vaccine 1 month after having Covid (illness). That is the current recommendation (no longer need to wait 90 days). You should be well protected, having 2 vaccines plus natural illness at least for now. We don’t know, for sure how long either immunity lasts (vaccine or natural), and with variants arising, be cautious indoors with crowds anyway.
