Should platelet count be checked before/after getting a Covid vaccine injection?

Should platelet count be assessed before or after receiving a Covid vaccine injection? What is the rationale behind checking platelet levels in relation to vaccination, and are there specific concerns for patients with low platelet counts?

No, Pointless for a hand full of patients compared to a million given the vaccine. The point isn’t to detect low platelets but to detect disease. The incidence is so low that it is pointless to spend billions of dollars on CBC’s.
