The new guidelines says that you should take vaccine after 6 months of recovering from covid. However taking 2-3 months after recovery for non hospitalized patients is good enough waiting period.
If you were previously on any medications for covid19 which included a steroid, kindly wait for atleast 8-12 weeks after the medication is stopped completely.
