COVID-19 Vaccination Urged After Former Infection

(Monroe County, Fla) – The Florida Department of Health has recommendations regarding vaccination for COVID-19 for those who have been previously infected with the virus and for those who are currently infectious.

Those who have had COVID-19 and recovered should still get vaccinated because it is unknown how long protection from being infected again will last.  Getting sick with the virus can occur again and vaccination can help prevent severe infection and further spread.

The following are criteria for those who should wait to be vaccinated:

  • Those who currently have COVID-19 symptoms.
  • If you tested positive for COVID-19, wait to be vaccinated until it is safe to be around others.
  • Those who had one dose of the vaccine, but got infected before the second dose, wait until it is safe to be around others.
  • If you were treated with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, wait 90 days before getting the vaccine.
