Association of plasma ferritin and plasma iron at time of vaccination with the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: a longitudinal cohort study
In this predominantly iron-replete cohort, higher plasma ferritin at the time of vaccination was associated with stronger vaccination-induced humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 over 6 months.
