Your chances of getting it are dependent on time - antigens drop after the
body fights off the infection. After a sufficient period, the acquired
"immunity" is weak enough that it doesn't seem to act as much of an
obstacle to reinfection; before then, your chances of getting through
re-exposure are better.
This is the greatest obstacle to dealing with Covid through vaccination.
