Your adaptive immunity will probably provide a lot of protection from severe disease and hospitalization but it’s far less likely to prevent infection now. There’s been a lot of antigenic drift in the circulating variants since January 2021 and it’s ongoing. Due to this your circulating antibodies probably won’t provide sterilizing immunity anymore but of course that’s true for the vaccinated too. Worrying about vaccination status to stop the spread stopped being worthwhile months ago. If the Omicron boosters work well then it’ll reoccur, until then we can probably all chill out and it won’t change a thing.
