@marinameshel- Good morning. Guidelines for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 are to wait 90 days after you test negative. To answer your question about the need for the vaccine if you have had COvid is, that everyone needs to be vaccinated. We know that the vaccines work at least for 1/2 a year, so far. We have no idea how long you are protected from having had covid-19. Also, there is a chance, although slight, of reinfections.

( Antibody tests after having a COVID-19 vaccine.)

Meanwhile be sure to protect yourself and others. How are you feeling?
