@maitri, @stellm & @trieste -
This is an interesting issue - I have a few questions for each of you, as we all look for answers about these new vaccines.

As I said in earlier posts, I have looked at both VAERS (the place to report reactions) and everything I could find through research, and this is a completely unreported issue to date. Additionally, my daughter a Covid health/triage nurse for a large health system has not heard of it either.

- Did you report the reaction where you received the vaccine or to your doc, so it could be recorded in VAERS?
- Were your low blood counts found as the result of your feeling ill after the vaccine, or during routine blood tests during other health care?
- Have the counts been repeated to see if they have improved?
- What did the doc have to say?
- Are you able to see your blood test results over time, to see if this is part of the normal fluctuations we all have?
- @trieste Did you or your husband have any other symptoms?

Sorry for the long list, but it certainly is curious that we have not seen any reports since Day 1, and would love to improve our knowledge of what is going on.
Thank you!
Sue

We didn't report to vaers or the vaccination site. It didn't seem serious enough. My husband has blood drives at work so I will wait until they test his blood again to see if the iron count is still low.

The doctor has called me into the surgery today concerned that my son has anemia for the first time having had his annual blood tests. Reading your articles has shown me that the vaccine is of some concern. My son has been healthy until he had the Astra vaccine. Surely this is no coincidence? As others appear to have encountered the same issues.

HI Sue, I have Haemochromtosis (HIGH IRON), I regularly have blood work done, I always have high iron and iron saturation, since AstraZeneca my levels of iron ferritin and iron saturation have dropped well below the normal range and I am now moderately iron deficient and anaemic.
My bloods were done 4 weeks before and after COVID injection
My bloods are done every month and therefore I know I have never had low iron in the last 10 years or low iron saturation

1. No - I have an appointment with my Doctor this Friday and will discuss.
2. No. Was rejected from donating for 3rd time this past Sunday 1/22/22 where they measure my hemoglobin prior to donation. I have two years worth of hemoglobin records from my donations. Never even close to marginal until post Pfizor vaccination.
3. Yes - I have had 4 tests since vaccination, 3 too low to donate and one 1 was marginal.
4. TBD - Have an appointment this Friday to discuss.
5. Yes - I have two years of history but have been donating for many years and have never been rejected dur to low iron.

I got two doses of the Moderna vaccine, the last one in April. I have no history of iron deficiency or anemia. On June 2, I was admitted to the hospital with extremely low iron and anemia. I was given two pints of blood over two days. I was not aware of losing blood. I was given two endoscopies and a colonoscopy--all three were normal. None of my health care practitioners could figure out why I was suddenly experiencing these problems. I had two iron infusions after hospitalization. I have since had a blood test to determine if my iron anemia problem was solved, and it appears so. Initially, I didn't link the problem with the vaccines, but I now suspect there may be a correlation.

I too am experiencing low iron, ferritin and hemoglobin after Pfizer vaccine. Along with elevated A1C levels.

I sent in a form to VAERS reporting my symptoms it takes three years to be compensated for countermeasure (vaccine). My four visits- 2 doctor visits, 2 ER Visits will be extremely high in cost out of my pocket. When I update or hear from Vaers I will include the low hemoglobin and iron results.
