Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I do not think the Moderna vaccine caused my ET. My platelets were being watched by my GP for several years…they went up slowly. When they hit 621 he referred me to a hematologist. I was diagnosed with ET JAK2 in June 2022.

However, I had seven vaccines in 2021…three Moderna, two Shingrix, flu, and DTap booster. For the first time in my life I developed psoriasis on my scalp and some on legs. I think it is possible that having so many vaccines affected my immune system. My GP and hematologist have no idea.

Thanks for your comment. They were monitoring my plaletes, too, for at least 6 months. I also went up gradually. Are you being treated? I just started the HU. Everything that I've read online about the vaccine says it can cause blood clotting issues. I guess no matter the cause we have to get the platelets down. Take care!
