Over 50 is considered positive contact with virus. No symptoms.Went for the first shot in June '21. Asked the doctor at vaccination point, with the lab results in hand, is ok to get the shot 60 days after having somewhat positive result(some say that IgG count should be over 500 for immunity), doctor said, it's "most likely" not a problem.luckily, there was no problem with my 2 doses, had only mild fever for 1 day after. 2nd shot, I was somewhat tired for 2 days. No biggie.Now in January, 3 of my friends had Covid, positive PCR test, 2 days later I come down with SAME symptoms, PCR test negative. But as I was only one vaccinated out of 4 of us with 2 shots, I only had 1 day fever(38,8 C), they had for 3 days.I ask my family doctor should I get a booster? It was due at late january/early february, she says that you need to wait 2-3 months after infection, but as you were negative it probably(again probably) OK. But, as false negatives are also happened in small cases in PCR test, that I should, just in case wait for a month or two.I will probably go for antigen serum test again i a week or so, and depending on antibody count will decide about the 3rd shot.TLDR: it's a new virus and new vaccines, and even doctors are not sure about what antibody count is sufficient protection, just that more is better. That's what I gathered from talking to few of them.</blockquote>
