Getting tested at the moment is extremely difficult.
My daughter was diagnosed as vitamin D deficient by our GP about 18 months ago. She should have had a re-test in the spring to see if things have improved but it's apparently not an urgent enough blood test to happen at the moment. More than slightly frustrating since there were other things not in the normal ranges too. In the mean-time we continue to give her a daily high dose supplement as instructed which annoys her.

Since I can pay for a private test and feel OK (two people I know that got NHS tested and prescribed vitamin D actually felt low, no energy...clear symptoms) I wouldn't annoy the NHS with it, would be more curiosity.
Perhaps I should do it and see what comes out of it :)
But in your case, yeah that's not so good, it is better if the GP follows up.
She doesn't like vitamin drops?

Some interesting covid studies: IF and IF your vitamin D levels are low (not enough to get rickets low, but still low) taking vitamin D will help covid recovery.
The study was done on people that had to go to hospital. So it's not clear if it works if you aren't vitamin D deficient and not in a bad state.
As long as you don't think it makes you definitely covid safe it may really be worth taking it. Or get your levels tested at least, but you may have to pay for that.
(or eat fatty fish/mushrooms often if you don't like supplements)
