“Any person who collects human blood donations for the purpose of providing blood for human blood transfusion shall require blood donors to disclose whether the blood donor has received a COVID-19 vaccine or a messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine during the donor’s lifetime,” says the text of Louisiana House Bill 822 as introduced by Republican state House member Peter Egan.
Continued: “An individual or entity that collects blood from a donor who received a COVID-19 vaccine or messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine shall record the vaccine status of the donor on the receptacle containing the donated blood. In a nonemergency situation, as determined by a licensed healthcare professional, a person receiving a blood transfusion has the right to request blood based on whether the blood originated from a person who has received a COVID-19 vaccine or a messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine, if the requested blood is available.”
