What’s that about?
Interesting, the ARC's position is shown below, but to cut to the chase if you had the mRNA virus vaccine or a vaccine made of inactivated virus ("Dead" virus}, there's no deferral time. If the vaccine was made with attenuated virus ("Gimped" virus), you have to wait 2 weeks to donate blood.

This was instituted back in October...


COVID-19 Vaccine and Blood Donor Eligibility Information
The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive a COVID-19 vaccination, and deferral times may vary depending on the type of vaccine an individual receives. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. Upon vaccination, you should receive a card or printout indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received, and we encourage you to bring that card with you to your next donation. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation. The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received, including boosters:


  • There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
  • Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.
  • If you have an appointment scheduled and need to change your donation date based on the above guidance, click here.
  • If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS.

Please note: The Red Cross, as an organization, is not a healthcare provider and is not administering COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. However, Red Cross volunteers who are medical professionals may work with local authorities to help give vaccinations if their state licenses permit them to do so. In addition, Red Cross teams are currently helping to vaccinate U.S. service members on bases around the world.
 
So they should just say you need to wait 14 days if you just got the jab. Don’t know many peeps that write down what and who when getting a shot. I called for giggles and gags and got a run-a-round from automated bs and gave up. While taking the Rapid Pass the questions and answers are bold and blunt. If you get a tattoo recently it says to wait 90 days. If you recently donated blood then this long. If you banged a hooker, have more then one partner, had or have a VD, shared needles, your denied. IMO, if you get jabbed you have to call sends the wrong message.

Don't necessarily disagree, but since the vast majority of vaccines fall into the go ahead and donate category, they want to keep the donations flowing...
 
:oops:


Well, according to the anti-jab crowd his heart should have exploded a long time ago.

I'm going to go find my vax card so I know when to start saying my goodbyes. I'm sure I'm coming up on three years now. That will be my expiration date, says them.
