The Red Cross has no issues with blood from vaccinated persons.

Thanks for such a rapid reply...
However, I have questions—I am on a learning curve:
1. Is Red Cross responsible for the blood supply in its entirety? I don’t know, just asking. Is what they say the “last word” on the subject.
2. Do you have any links to support your statement of fact regarding Red Cross having no issues?
3. On that note, are there any studies which have been conducted by Red Cross (or anyone else for that matter) or is it just an assumption that “no news is good news?”
4. If no links, do you work for Red Cross—and then you have inside knowledge to make the factual statement w/o links?
Thanks and have a nice rest of your day :)

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.
