AVOID THE TAINT!
“Finally some common sense. That said, the Red Cross does NOT accept plasma from the vaxed.”
From the Red Cross website:
Q: Are individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine eligible to give blood, platelets and plasma?
A: Yes, you can donate blood after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, as long as you are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of the donation. Please come prepared to share the manufacturer name of the vaccine you received. If you do not know the name of the vaccine manufacturer, we request you wait two weeks to donate after vaccination, out of precaution.
Q: I’ve heard claims that the Red Cross refuses to accept convalescent plasma from individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine because it wipes out the antibodies. Is this true?
A: There are claims circulating that incorrectly state that the Red Cross will not accept convalescent plasma donations from those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine because “the vaccine wipes out those antibodies making the convalescent plasma ineffective in treating other COVID-19 patients.” This is not accurate.
Due to the decline in hospital demand and because the Red Cross and our industry partners have been able to build a sufficient supply of convalescent plasma to meet the foreseeable needs of COVID-19 patients the Red Cross stopped collecting convalescent plasma completely on June 14.

Yes they accept blood of the vaxxed if you are not showing symptoms of covid or reaction to the vaxx, If you don’t know which vaxxine you got, you have to wait two weeks.
