You might want to get the bivalent booster for the omicron variant, though, and AFAIK you can get it any time.

Isn't autocorrect glorious?

Did you have an infection from COVID in September or did you have vaccine shot then?

If it was vaccine then two months until you can have booster.

If you had an infection the advice varies. I've seen 10 to 14 days after your symptoms subside is OK to get the booster and I've seen that you can wait up to three months. Your health department should be able to advise you properly as to your individual situation,

The booster works on this variant. The former boosters, from what I've read don't.

but what I see is:

Two months after your last vaccination
After your covid infection is over plus a week (or 10 days) and before 3 months is up.
If you had any of the treatments there is different advice
If you have immune issues there is also a bunch of varying advice.

You should consult your doctor if possible.

Right now I have had 4 shots in total. Best to call your local health authority.
