Im going in for the o shot on monday. i woke up today with a common cold..i've been taking folic acid and iron. will this mess up my platelet count?

No: There should be no problem with your playlets. However if you have been taking any aspirin then I would talk to your doctor about this as your platelets will not work correctly.
