establish provisions related to the disclosure of COVID-19 and mRNA vaccination status and blood donations.
Do Pass
Summary
The bill mandates that anyone collecting human blood must ask donors whether they have received a COVID‑19 or mRNA vaccine and, if so, label the blood bag accordingly (without revealing personal identifiers). It also gives patients receiving non‑emergency transfusions the right to request blood from donors based on their vaccination status, and health‑care providers must honor that request if the blood is available. The measure aims to increase transparency for blood recipients who want to know the vaccination background of the blood they receive.
