Summary
This study looked at whether giving oral iron supplements to women with iron deficiency anemia helps their immune system respond better to vaccines. 180 women in Kenya were split into three groups: one got iron for a month before vaccination, one got iron at the same time as vaccination, and one got a placebo. Researchers measured antibody levels after vaccination to see if iron timing matters.
