Does the body react differently if antibodies are already present, or do they feel it's a waste of a jab if you've already had it and survived?

Way back I am sure that it was noted that unless you had a fairly severe covid infection then very few antibodies were generated. I think it was when they were harvesting plasma with high antibody levels to transfuse into the patients who were on ventilators and nothing else was working. I don't think being asymptomatic would have any adverse effect on the way our bodies would cope with the vaccination as there wouldn't be much of a system overload.
Maybe they are asking about any previous Covid-19 infection so that stats of some form could be used in the future. <<shrug>> I was asked the same question when I had my first jab in early January.
Probably best ignore my ramblings meds are kicking in.
