I am a nurse, have no history of anemia and had normal iron/ferritin labs prior to the Pfizer vaccine in June/ July. After my second dose in July, I was extremely tired all the time, I followed up with my healthcare provider who immediately referred me to hematology. My ferritin was 4 and my iron saturation was less than 9%. After two rounds of feraheme, I’m beginning to feel normal again. I 100 % believe it was related to the vaccine since they could find no cause for it and it’s interesting to find others that suddenly have an iron deficiency after the vaccine. I am thankful that I found this site and I will also add that I am extremely reluctant to get the booster knowing that so many of us have had this issue.

It appears that research indicates NOT getting the vaccine or booster.. if one has iron deficient anemia because it impairs the immune response.
