You were one of those four-dose people. That’s true, and I was also able to get a prophylactic monoclonal antibody. That’s probably why I think I caught a relatively mild illness. But it lasted 17 days and I had to take Paxlovid twice. BTW, I don’t think we should call that a rebound. In other words, we don’t have a correct dosing schedule.
