Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. Only after 3 weeks from second dose of vaccination you will get protection from corona. You can take the next dose after 45 days. There is nothing to worry in case of vaccine.
Regarding covid positive. Get adequate rest. Take more fluids. You can take Vitamin C and zinc supplements. Check your saturation levels by pulse oximeter. If it is low then you should be hospitalized. Otherwise it is ok to stay home.
Did you had any recurrent breathing problems after your pneumonia attack in 2008?
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
