If the second booster (#4 shot) is required by your school, you can have it done; otherwise you do not need any more booster because it can't prevent another infection with a new variant. If you prefer to be vaccinated, you should wait for the new vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna which may have effect with omicron variants.

You misunderstood something you read. Covid immunization can be given within a week or two of recovering from covid.
