A family member is reporting the same thing, how are you at the moment?
Post Covid infection iron deficiency has been documented for some time, and may be part of the cause of some post-Covid fatigue. The frequency of post-vaccine anemia is still not really known. Some other things that can be part of iron deficiency are low thyroid and low vitamin D levels. Were these checked at the same time? After low ferritin readings, it can take some time to build up, if iron supplements don't work, sometimes infusions may be prescribed.
I hope this answers some of your questions
