Hello @cellis5094 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. At what point did your symptoms cause you to look into getting your bloodwork done? What were your symptoms?

Hi, I know this is 3 years later but I experienced the exact same thing and got my Pfizer vax (both) around this time (July, August 2021). I became anemic, and my ferritin was once below the detectable limit. No bleeding (I was scoped) Prior to this, my iron levels had always been on the high side all of my adult life. I'm also looking for answers.
