People who have already been infected with coronavirus can also receive the new coronavirus vaccine.
As a general rule, people with symptoms can be vaccinated two weeks after they have healed. Asymptomatic people can be vaccinated after the convalescence period, and those who have had close contact with the virus can be vaccinated after the health observation period.
For those who have been administered monoclonal antibody or convalescent plasma for treatment, we recommend waiting 90 days after the end of administration. If you are not sure what kind of treatment you received, please contact the medical institution where you received the treatment.
Also, there is no need to test and confirm if you have been infected in advance.
