: A Pfizer or Moderna second vaccination is recommended. When was your COVID infection in relation to the first dose? Post COVID another vaccination may be administered in one month. A booster is also recommended. Are you currently symptomatic?

There is no harm in getting the second dose at 2 months, and it remains effective in boosting immunity. Vaccine can be given any time 10 days or more after onset of COVID. Either Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is fine for your second dose.
