Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

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

I have my thyroid checked regularly and my vitamin D levels are good. Yes, checked at the same time. TSH is in the normal range but lower than it had been over time (over the last three years).

Thank you for the information. I had posted on 8/11 asking about severe anemia after both Pfizer shots requiring iron infusion. No Covid 19 diagnosis and have had 4 tests, none were for any symptoms of Covid. Iron retested next week snd then Dr.’s video visit to determine next steps. What information do you have about the Iron Deficiency after the vaccinations without having Covid that I could discuss with my Dr if need be? Thank You!
