Let me open by saying that I did not suffer iron depletion after 3 Pfizer Covid vaccines, but that doesn't mean it is not real. BUT there is no evidence it is being censored by the media or Google - my searches "iron deficiency after vaccine" and "anemia after Covid vaccine" linked right to this discussion on Mayo Connect.

Here is what I think is happening -
Anemia/Iron deficiency seems to be happening to some people after vaccination, but the symptoms take many weeks to appear, be recognized and diagnosed. By that time, it is unclear whether there is a direct cause and effect relationship between the vaccine and the anemia, so it may not get recognized or reported in VAERS. In addition, it is often unclear whether there are other contributing factors - Covid infection, another virus or vaccine, surgery, injury, disease...

Here is what we can do to be sure concerns are reported -
Report every suspected or known case of anemia, iron depletion or low hemoglobin after vaccine to VAERS (https://vaers.hhs.gov/esub/index.jsp) Make a COMPLETE report, filling in every item, including all meds, all symptoms, all conditions, and complete contact information. Agree to be contacted for followup. Keep a record of the VAERS Id so you can enter new information.

Finally, remember that the people you meet on Mayo Connect are not necessarily a one-to-one representation of our larger communities. They are people like me, who was diagnosed over 3 years ago with an uncommon lung infection, who was desperate for answers, and found the MAC & Bronchiectasis community at Connect through a Google search, or like you, who had anemia after vaccination and went on a search for answers.

Has your experience been reported, by you or the doctors, on VAERS?

absolutely not. I firmly believe that my issue was caused by the vaccine. Since the symptoms started within a few days after the second vaccine.
