Hi. I found this by searching for low iron and Pfizer vaccine. I am seeing a hematologist due to low red blood cell counts and very low iron (ferritin 3). Still waiting on his test results. But it occured to me that my first red cell count was the first 1 month (April) after COVID vaccine. The second and more test showed still issue and iron 4 months after shot. The third showing again 5 months after shot. Started on iron and waiting other test and Dr’s opinion on cause and treatment. Will add my account to the VAERS. Oct tests ok got vaccine in March.

@kirchercl- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you can see you are not alone in this finding after the covid-19 vaccine. What led you to have your blood tested? I was very tired but never thought to have mine checked.
Prior to the covid vaccine had you a history of low iron or any pre-existing conditions?

Perhaps this can help understand more fully about iron deficiency after a covid vaccine.

Have you had Covid ?
