Your risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death are miniscule. It would be prudent to take preventive measures like wearing a mask indoors or when near other people. Wish you good health!

Both conditions you list are potential risk factors. You have done all the right things and the booster is particularly important. I would still continue to practice safe behaviours. Good luck.
