I had the covid vaccine. Last one, booster, was on 3/2021. I have read that the vaccine may cause anemia, but nothing conclusive?

I suppose that I am the source of all this speculation about CoViD mRNA vaccines and iron deficiency. Go to this discussion - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/iron-depletion-in-blood-and-covid-vaccine/?pg=68#chv4-comment-stream-header - and find my comment on June 7. I was surprised to see one of the Mayo mods declare that VAERS has no record of any connection of CoViD mRNA vaccines and serum iron deficiency. Since there was no record on VAERS I decided to establish a discussion here. My question - to my PCP and my hematologist - was since the vaccines operate within the mRNA protocols and so does blood ferritin, could there be some relation? They both said 'no' - but of course it is an all new unexplored issue. I decided to put my question on record on VAERS; that seems to have fizzled.

There is no telling how many such cases there might be, or whether any medical researcher will ever pursue it. Since VAERS seems to be a dead end, I thought this forum might be an alternative.

Time might tell.
