“Covid vaccine after having Covid?”
I am a male who had his 2 vaccines. I also have 2 boys aged 11 and 5. All 3 of us had covid starting 2 weeks ago but are now recovered and symptom-free. When can I get my booster (Moderna) and my boys get their first shot? Do I have to wait after having covid? I am getting mixed answers.

That depends upon your circumstances Ideally, waiting 2-3 months is likely to give a better immune response The vaccines can be given soon after infection, no safety issues, but your immune response will be less than a later vaccine dose. I am unaware of any definitive data.
So if for some reason the dose had to be given soon, that is okay. But if no urgency, then wait a bit.
