each time you are exposed via vaccine or getting infected, it builds immunity.
Getting exposed turns out to be similar to having gotten one shot, though Im sure the immune response has a wider antigen coverage.
Keep in mind that getting infected has a substantially higher risk of bad outcomes than getting the vaccine. Getting the vaccine substantially reduces the risk of bad outcomes.
Getting infected then getting the vaccine is not as good as getting vaccinated then getting infected.
Also getting infected likely makes you completely immune to that variant. But getting vaccines/boosters likely gives you stronger partial immunity to mutated variants.
