He said definitely I had to wait a minimum of 3 months but possibly 6 months to a year. Everyone has to do what makes them comfortable. If I were overweight or had underlying conditions,, I may look at it differently.

All of us had Covid and are vaccinated now as well. My antibodies were gone by 6 months. However, there are no recorded fatalities from getting the vaccine after having Covid.
In response to waiting, yes, studies seem to suggest that when you antibodies are strong, you can get sick after getting vaccine. Not sick with Covid, of course, but just the general aches and pains of a vaccine.
The ZOE COVID Symptom Study found that people who’d had COVID previously were nearly twice as likely to experience mild reactions to the Pfizer vaccine, compared to people who’d never tested positive for COVID.
However ... everybody should still get the shot, because catching the infection a second time will likely be worse than any temporary side effects of the vaccine.
So, it is a personal choice, and if you have no intent on travelling anywhere, waiitng a month or two wouldn't hurt..
