COVID-19 Vaccine and Convalescent Plasma Donor Eligibility Information
Individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are not able to donate convalescent plasma with the Red Cross.
However, these individuals may be eligible to donate other blood products with the Red Cross including whole blood and platelets if they meet other donation eligibility criteria.
The Red Cross acknowledges that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did update its guidance regarding convalescent plasma donor eligibility related to those who receive a COVID-19 vaccine. We are evaluating the feasibility and timeline to implement this complex update, alongside the evolving hospital needs for COVID-19 patients. Please know, the Red Cross is committed to building a readily available inventory of convalescent plasma to ensure patients battling COVID-19 have all treatment options available to them.
If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
