Questions about donating if you’ve been or plan to be vaccinated for Covid-19? Here are a few quick answers:
- There is no deferral time for donating blood after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, Moderna or Pfizer as long as the eligible donor is feeling healthy and is symptom free.
- Donors who don’t know the name of the manufacturer of the vaccine they received or donors who received a live attenuated vaccine through a specialized program must wait two weeks before giving blood.
