Vaccine?

I was positive for covid-19 on May 31, I started a 14-day quarantine and take all my medicine upon doctor's prescription. After 14 days I do another test and it came out negative on June 18, when can I take my vaccine?

You may receive COVID-19 vaccination anytime after you have completed the required 10-day quarantine (10 days after appearance of first symptoms), especially when confirmed by a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result.
The recommendation is 90 days after the positive test or onset of symptoms, so that the antibodies from the disease do not impair the vaccine response.
Thanks for the question.
