As you have appreciated, you'd want to rule out temporary increases from your recent vaccinations. With IGHV unmutated CLL, unfortunately a long remission from FCR was unlikely, but 10 months is rather short! Thankfully, if you do end up needing treatment, you now qualify for non-chemo treatments that work far better than FCR in your circumstances.

Keep us informed.

Without a flow cytometry test, we don't know what is in your personal mix of lymphocytes, or how many of them, if any, are CLL cells. I gather than unmutated IGHV CLL cells can be stimulated by a range of things, with mutated IGHV CLL being very selective., Hopefully your lymphocyte count will stabilise. The ingredients of immunity booster supplements are what you should particularly avoid.
