There's some range of disagreement about how big a gap you should have.

The CDC currently recommends adults who are not immunocompromised get a bivalent booster two months after their last regular booster. If you've caught covid in that time, waiting three months after your symptoms is recommended.
Your doctor may have other recommendations based on your own risk profile.

Here it's 6 months if you've had Covid.
I could probably lie and go to one of these pop up places.
Not sure if that would work as I did report Covid positive status in the phone app so I assume it's on a government database somewhere.

The boss of the social media firm also warns workers to prepare for "difficult times", reports say.

Yeah, well, Mr. Musk has likely passed his own peak productivity.
Monoclonal antibodies and some other treatments (not the vaccines) are apparently much less effective vs Omicron and its subvariants.

While it’s highly probable replacements could be discovered, the federal funding that helped lead to rapid development of these treatments has largely dried up. Apparently, legislators are not interested in further expenditures.
The other treatments that exist, while cheaper and easier to administer, are far more likely to have interactions with other pharmaceuticals.
Once-favored Covid drugs ineffective on Omicron may be putting millions at risk
While antiviral pills are plentiful and remain an option for some with weak immune systems, they won’t work for everyone — Pfizer’s Paxlovid interacts with many widely prescribed drugs.

And, as a matter of health policy, we can understand why.
In the US, over the past 8 days, about 300 people per day died of covid.
About 100 per day die in car accidents.
About 1700 per day die of cancer
About 2300 per day die of heart disease.
Covid is slipping into the same range as other causes of death in the US, and governmental response will be moderated by that.
Doubly so, because if there's another really large surge, it is likely be due to yet another variant, against which the treatments we create today would likely be ineffective anyway.

Though I'm not sure that factors in some of the emerging data on the frequency of Long COVID problems.
Yeah, but death in car accidents doesn't factor in maiming in car accidents. Death from cardiovascular issues doesn't count people who have massive brain damage from strokes, but survive, and so on.
I picked one metric to be demonstrative. If you want to broaden out to others, then to keep it apples-to-apples, you have to do that for all the other causes of death. I don't think the general picture changes much if you do that, though.
