So CDC recommends it in your situation.
NACI may recommend it
Also NACI doesn’t distinguish between the effectiveness of BA1 boosters vs BA4/5 boosters.
So from the North American groups there could be benefit in advancing your booster

Thanks -- from the CDC page it actually suggests waiting 3 months after Covid symptoms or positive test:
Quote:
People who recently had COVID-19 may consider delaying the next COVID-19 vaccine dose (primary dose or updated booster) by 3 months from when symptoms started or, if they had no symptoms, when they first received a positive test. Reinfection is less likely in the weeks to months after infection. However, certain factors, such as personal risk of severe disease, local COVID-19 Community Level, and the most common COVID-19 variant currently causing illness, could be reasons to get a vaccine sooner rather than later.

We'll look into booking sooner based on numbers and availability of the BA4/5 booster (admittedly it's not something I've turned my mind to in awhile). Getting it in advance of Christmas gatherings is also a good consideration.
