15. Ditto on the 9. But I've had major side effects.

After 8 of the 9 vaccinations, I've had headaches start 2-3 weeks later and last for a month. With this last dose, they were bad enough that I went to the Emergency Room. Each time I've had roughly a week in which I was completely unable to carry on my normal routine because I was hiding in the bedroom under a blanket. None of my normal (or abnormal) medications work - advil, aspirin, tylenol, gabapentin, oxycodone, tramadol, benadryl + compazine + toradol)

Going to try for #10 this spring (at least I think that's the recommendation). I went to a neurologist. He's given me some new medication to try - and has a few others in his pocket if these don't work.

Hoping I can find a way to manage the headaches - because I can't keep losing a month every six months.

And, unfortunately, I've had COVID twice - the first one gave me long COVID. Fortunately the second one was very mild.
