It is not unusual to get covid-19 for the third time because of the virus mutation so the previous infections do not provide you the immunity and the same is applied for vaccination and booster. However, most young people will have mild disease with re-infection and clotting complication is very less likely. Wish you recover quickly, just take tylenol or motrin for the current symptoms.
