Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I realize this is an older topic, however my PCP has been monitoring my Iron, Ferritin, Hematocrit and Hemoglobin levels since June of 2022. All levels are below normal and despite all attempts to correct my levels/values, we've only been able to raise my Iron level slightly. I have been getting regular blood draws every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor and try different things to increase my deficient levels with little to no success. It seems clear this is related to the Pfizer COVID vaccine and booster I received, as I've NEVER had issues with my blood or these levels prior to receiving this vaccine. My primary concern (fear) is this leading to other serious health problems including the Anemia that I now have as a result of the aforementioned. I am a career Firefighter and was required to take the vaccine to keep my job. We have several other Firefighters that I work with whom also are suffering from the same issues as myself or problems with blood clots forming throughout their body. We all are doing what we can, but most of us aren't getting any remedies that are effective or working. Are there any treatments, experts or therapeutic care options we can explore to begin helping to correct these issues, is there any good advice someone can point us in a direction to? Thanks for any input!

I’m in the same boat, it’s so discouraging. Have you had an iron infusion? That was the only thing that increased my iron levels, will be getting tested soon to see if they are still in an acceptable range. Oral supplements did not work at all.

I've NEVER had issues with my blood or these levels prior to receiving this vaccine. Same here, RBC 3.73 Hematocrit 34.7 Hemoglobin 12.6. What are your #s?

My levels were very low Hemoglobin 6.3 then I got a unit of blood and my energy levels rose. Every month my hemoglobin increases,7.1, 9.1, 10.4. My hematocrit is at normal range now. although my iron binding is very low 4%. Iron infusion is next, I hear will help. Keep the faith insist on getting new blood and iron to heel what the vaccine did to your cells.
