Springcove, in my opinion the vaccines are iffy for people who had documented COVID infection. The loose consensus I get from my reading and discussions with other docs is that actual infection likely triggers much more robust immunity on both the antibody side and the cellular immunity side (T-cells).

I know a lot of ex-spurts are advocating the vaccine for folks who have been infected, but their logic escapes me. But in fairness, I haven’t taken a lot of time to dig deeper into this in recent months, so my advice may be out of date. The standard recommendation of the powers that be is that infected persons can take their first dose of vaccine 3+ months after their recovery, and there does not appear to be a higher incidence of vaccine-associated complications in this group.
