I had both covid injections in January and February 2021. In May 2021 I was diagnosed with low hemoglobin count and told to take prenatal vitamins . I took these vitamins through October 2021. At the time. my numbers were so low that I was immediately given iron infusions for six weeks. After these infusions, I was tested 4 weeks later and the numbers were again low. I had another 6 infusions. During the interim, I had endoscopy and colonoscopy and the pill camera for lower intestine. I had a liver sonagram and countless blood tests. The hemotologist stated that My tests did not look like leukemia. Now after all the infusions, I am told that they will give me a stronger iron infusion for the next two weeks.
I am stumped and just wondered if there was a correlation because I never had a problem with my blood. I took the booster in September and am worried about taking the second booster when it is approved. I am a fairly healthy 76 year old with moderate high blood pressure and diabetes which is well controlled with A1C below 6. Thank you for any answers you can provide.

My situation sounds similar to yours, just recently found out I was anemic, never had any problem with anemia in my life. Going through all the tests now to see if they can find a cause and just started iron supplements. Had vaccine dose 2 in June 2021 and developed tinnitus within 10 days, had booster dose in December 2021.

Make your own choice about the booster because we US citizens should be able to do that but I can tell you that I will not be taking a booster. I am the same age as you and have the same issues with my iron since taking the Pfizer vaccine last year. I still work and my company mandated the vaccine to their employees. I firmly believe the cause of my low iron is because of the vaccine which was never tested correctly before rolling it out. Now we are the guinea pigs.
