The MHFW recommends 3 months of gap between recovery and the vaccination
Next Steps
The explanation for the same would be - as you were already infected by covid your body has developed antibodies against the virus
As you already have the antibodies which will help you fight a re infection a gap is recommended so that your protection duration can be extended to a longer period
Health Tips
If still in doubt get an antibody test done and see if your antibodies are sufficient enough
If not / it comes to a lower side / negative you can get the vaccination done
