Summary

This study looked at whether taking iron supplements helps pregnant women with low iron (anemia) build stronger immunity from routine vaccines like tetanus and COVID-19. Researchers compared immune responses in anemic women receiving iron to non-anemic women on a lower preventive dose. The goal was to understand if correcting iron deficiency improves vaccine protection for both mother and baby.
