May have answered this in another thread...YEP I got my Pfizer shots this past Feb. What's more I also donate whole blood regularly...like 3x since my vaccination.
Might add that Red Cross et Al. doesn't segregate "vaccinated" blood from "unvaccinated" blood and they are in serious hurt for plasma and platelets. They are enthused when a vaccinated donor comes thru cuz of the need for blood for unvaccinated types in the hospital ICUs which in my area happens to be roughly 99% of the folks in the COVID ICU being unvaccinated types. They use it and plasma as the enhanced antibodies found in either post COVID or vaccinated antibodies helps...A COVID antibody concentration test also happens to be 1 of several of the blood test they do as part of the blood quality testing before accepting a donation for that reason.
