I haven't got any results back yet. I just need to know, is it possible for the new covid vaccine to
lower my platelet? I would really like to know prior to getting the jab.

Hello @j68eis I’m not sure you saw this reply that I posted earlier but it addresses your concerns of previous discussions you started for low platelets due to covid vaccinations and Eliquis with informational articles on both.
This is a link to my post: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/938928/

No one would be able to predict what you’ll experience if you get the vaccination or whether it will further decrease your platelet level. Members in the forum aren’t able to diagnose or offer treatment recommendations.
Getting the vaccination is a decision you should make with the help of your hematologist after discussing your concerns. You mentioned that you have a hematologist at Mayo. I know from experience that their doctors work together with patients to make the best informed decision. So if this were me, I’d feel pretty comfortable with what they recommended.
