Although that may be wishful thinking. When I tried to find out when / if I should get my second shot after having Covid, people just yelled at me to get vaccinated. I had no issue with getting vaccinated. Would have done it sooner, since I work in a high risk setting, but the government wouldn't let me.
People have different circumstances and are looking for answers. Implying they are anti-vaxxers for asking questions isn't helpful.

Here's the NACI guidance for Canada. You don't fit in these categories right now so there's no guidance for you to get a booster now. Could change when you hit six months - but nothing now.

After reviewing the recent evidence and the evolving COVID-19 pandemic in the Canadian context, NACI has updated its booster recommendations:
NACI strongly recommends a booster dose of an authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccine should be offered at least 6 months after completion of a primary COVID-19 vaccine series to the following groups:
People aged 50 years and older
Adults living in long-term care homes for seniors or other congregate living settings that provide care for seniors
Recipients of a viral vector vaccine series completed with only viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD or Janssen COVID-19 vaccine)
Adults in or from First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities
All frontline healthcare workers having direct in-person contact with patients
NACI now also recommends that a booster dose of an authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may be offered to adults 18 to 49 years of age at least 6 months after completion of a primary COVID-19 vaccine series with consideration of jurisdictional and individual risks as outlined in the full NACI Statement.
