Methods

We searched PubMed and EMBASE covering the period between January 1^st 2020 and August 6^th, 2021, looking for record in English and with an abstract and using three main search terms (with specific variations): COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2; Vaccination; headache/adverse events. We selected manuscript
