After having covid, how long do antibodies last, and how soon can i get infected again?

This depends on the infectivity of the virus and the production of antibodies by your immune system . In general the immunity slowly wanes after 3-6 months

CDC recommends wait 3 months after having Covid to take a booster. Even after having a booster you can still get Covid but at a milder response.
