Exposed to covid again

Hello I'm CEV due to being immunocompromised and my vaccine status is as follows:
Dose 1 (Pfizer): 29/01/2021
Dose 2 (Pfizer): 16/04/2021
Dose 3 (Pfizer): 16/10/2021

Tested positive for covid 02/01/2022 and had a mild case of it fortunately just aches for first couple of days and a lingering cough. Just been exposed to covid again and worried as it's so soon (5 weeks) not sure my body is 100% recovered. Is it possible to catch it again presumably same variant after 5 weeks?

Is say your antibodies will be pretty primed tbh and afaik second infections are usually milder.

Fwiw I had my vaccines all about a month or so after yours and just got out of isolation this week after covid. I'm feeling, hopefully rightly, that I can stop worrying about covid for a bit.

I spoke to a paramedic at the weekend and he said yes. But technically any PCR within 90 days is classed as the same infection.

If you are negative on lateral flows and then test positive I would assume another infection.

But between the vaccines and the natural antibodies your protection is as high as it could ever be. So exposure doesn't equal infection.

Try not to worry.
