My friend just recovered himself from covid19 infection. my questions is, when can he actually take the covid19 booster vaccine after recovered from covid 19? tqvm?

That is a question that is being debated, tentatively about 3 months after, however the natural infection generates immunity. The immunity from vaccinations and infections decrease over time so it is possible to wait a while after infection and still be protected. The vaccination however provides a multiplied protection when taken after an infection.
