COVID booster vaccination
Good day Doctor,
I had taken my vaccine second jab on Aug 2021. But I didn't take my booster shot yet. Meanwhile, i was down with COVID 2 months back. Now I'm traveling to abroad and I need to take booster as per immigration. I saw in Google that we need to wait for 3 months after infection. But now I have to take the booster in 2 months after infection for legal requirements. Now my questions are:
1. Is it safe for to take the booster shot in 2 months after infection?
2. Will it cause any harm to my health if i take in 2 months gap? If so, please clarify.
Thanks for ur time!

Please share the source of information that you have to wait for 3 months after the Covid attack before you can take a booster dose.
All that I know is there should be a gap of 2 weeks after any Viral fever.
