From Dr. Cooper: > I CAN’T request non covid vax blood- blood bank doesn’t register vax status. According to the Red Cross page on [coronavirus and blood donation](https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/coronavirus--covid-19--and-blood-donation.html) if you have been vaccinated for COVID-19 you must state that along with the manufacturer of your vaccine when you donate blood. The Red Cross may not label blood products with the vaccination status of the donor, but they easily could because they already have that information. If her local blood bank gets blood from some other donation clinic that clinic can do the same. This part is amusing: > We barely have enough blood as it is. What is she worried about? If only vaccine free people request vaccine free blood there should be enough donors. Is she worried all those happily vaccinated people will start asking for vaccine free blood too? This trend needs to grow. I want to see the Red Cross openly begging vaccine free people to donate because that’s the only blood anyone will take. Public debates on whether or not vaccine free people should wait behind vaccinated people for vaccine free blood would be hilarious.
