Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I have been having the same problem. I went to the doctor after being very tired and easily out of breath. My CBC counts had all plummeted as well as my iron and iron saturation. I started pumping myself with anything I could with iron in it. Next blood test my CBC counts had come back up, but my iron and saturation levels were still low. I still am taking anything I can to up my iron. While I am not as tired as I was, I still find I have no get up and go, and still need one nap each day, which is not me. I plan on requesting another iron and saturation test soon, but am afraid this is permanent.
I received my two Pfizer shots in March and April.

My daughters iron never went back up either with iron supplements. The only thing it went up with is a blood transfusion. She will start iron infusions next week. I am hoping it goes up further. The lowest her hemoglobin got was 5.8 which is not good. Her folate levels were the lowest the hematologist has ever seen. She has O- blood type. I'd be interested to know if there is anything that is common in those on this commentary.
