Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

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!

Hi Kathy, As much as I would like to have some "insider knowledge" about all the effects of Covid infections and the Covid vaccine, I am just another Mayo Connect member, with a lot of interest in the topic because my daughter, an ER nurse, got infected 18 months ago and is still having lingering problems.
When trying to answer questions, I search through all the available data online, including CDC, FDA, Mayo, the pharmas and other sources.
The vaccines are fairly new, so there are few published studies at this time because it takes many months to gather data, analyze it and write reports.
Since you have had this problem after both doses of their vaccine, and your doctor apparently found no other answers I suggest that your contact Pfizer directly to report the issue and ask for further guidance. That way, they will have a direct report, and be able to add your reaction to their knowledge base. This will lead to better information for you and for all of us in the future.
