Anecdata: I had a very mild case at the end of last October. Three weeks ago I got my first jab of BioNTech/Pfizer. Ten days after that I did antibodies test. The amount was 750 times of that required to be seropositive. Much as I expected. Just got my second jab, but won't be doing antibodies test anymore.

Indeed, in France, if you had COVID within a certain time period, one jab counts as fully vaccinated.
Who knows what, if any, differences there are in long-term immunity, but so far, infection + 1 vaccine is looking like it produces very good immunity, even against known variants and even against the original SARS. In a petri dish anyway.

Out of curiosity, what was the number (and unit) you got, and which antibodies were tested?
I still had antibodies in March, 1 year after having Covid, but the doctors didn’t want to say if the level was indicative of immunity or not...
