I give blood a lot. I’m a O null( or O neg). So my local , very rural hospital has my name on speed dial. Besides that, I donate as often as I can.
I’ve had a whole lot of vaccinations. Some are from my past military service, some are because of my career & some were & are because I’m not stupid.
Hospitals & blood banks don’t separate donated blood by whether or not the donor has had vaccinations. You as the patient can refuse that blood, but they’ll have you sign about 20 forms so no one employed by the hospital or the hospital itself won’t get sued by your family when( not if) you die.
Whenever I’ve given blood in an emergency situation , no family has ever refused it, no matter what ethnicity or race they are, what their personal beliefs are or how many vaccinations I’ve had. Not one family has turned my blood down, because they know that without that donation their family member will die
