Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Posted by stellm @stellm, Jun 11, 2021

Has there been any reports of iron depletion in the blood after receiving the Pfizer vaccine?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Blood tests since taking the Covid vaccine and boosters have indicated extremely low iron saturation resulting from below range of iron in blood. This has been indicative in blood work for the past 10 months.

Keep us posted.I think I have had an iron problem since february of 2020 when I got covid 19 and again one year later when I got the delta variant.I think I have had only one moderna shot?

I, too, have had an iron issue (low ferritin as well) under the same circumstances: one Moderna shot, followed by Covid. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence out there regarding low iron post-vaccination, even when there has been no Covid, so it's difficult to say which is the culprit. In my case (a few months later), my hair was breaking off 1-2" from my scalp, and my nails became soft, which sent me to the doctor. With 350-mg of Ferrous Sulphate daily for more than one year, my levels were brought back into the "normal" zone but still not where I'd like them to be. My suggestion is to have your blood checked for iron and ferritin levels; you, too, may need to take iron.

Be careful with Flagyl found to be carcinogenic with animals tested.

Flagyl is also neurotoxic and can cause peripheral neuropathy. There is an FDA warning on the box.

They claim you are warned not to take the moderna shot if you have low ferritin and I was never warned in 2020.My iron is down to 18 ug/dl and % saturation is 5%.Ferritin is 17ng/ml.Total iron binding is 382 ug/dl?? My WBC is 6.4 k/uL and RBC 3.45 M/uL .Hemoglobin 8.6 g/dL.Hematocrit 30.5%.MCV 88.4 fL.MCH 24.9 pg.MCHC is 28.2 g/dL.RDW 16.9%.Abs Eosinophils was 0.6K/uL. I will see the hematologist on March 28th for a discussion of the above numbers from Memphis AEL blood lab. I think my ferritin went down after 2020 for I have had blood test as often as medicare approves the tests.Thanks for your valuable input.

I got the first Moderna shot against my better judgment—and I was never warned by anyone of any possible correlation between the "vaccine" and iron and/or ferritin. I'm sure that there are many other interactions, etc., that haven't been brought to light as well—and that is what's wrong with using something that hasn't been tested over time. I got my Moderna shot in March 2021 and I am still having issues with iron and ferritin....both are now in the normal range, but low in the range. They don't know if that will ever change. I've also bumped up my protein consumption and take two 750-mg grass-fed desiccated beef liver capsules every day.

I just had a dozen oysters for I have heard they had digestible iron.I need to find beef liver.I wonder if that oscar meyer liver cheese is beef?My middle son has refused the covid vaccines.He may be smarter than I?

I also ate oysters within the last week.Thanks for all your input.

I think if you have some liver, a steak or other red meat, some good seafood like oysters, lentils or spinach, that'll be good for building up your iron but I also think taking a supplement will work faster. You don't want your iron numbers to be above normal but from my personal experience, it'll take a long time to get there. Good luck.

I have hemochromatosis, and regularly donated before receiving two Pfizer injections. My HGB was 144 prior to the jabs, and shortly after, I was iron-deficiency anemic. Colonoscopy showed no problems. The doctor gave iron injections. I asked him if he'd ever given iron injections to anyone with hemochromatosis before, and he said, "no, it's strange."
As expected, any doctor or pharmacist I've talked to about it looks it up on the government system, and says, "nope, no connection known."
I'm glad I have hemochromatosis, because all the iron-related numbers tanked. I still haven't been able to donate since before the Pfizer crap.

Good to know Moderna and Pfizer are in the same boat.I regret ever getting the one Moderna shot in 2020 after having covid 19 in february 2020.
