When you receive your COVID-19 vaccination, make sure you receive a handout with information about the vaccine, including the name of the manufacturer. If an individual is experiencing any symptoms from the COVID-19 vaccine, the Red Cross asks that they postpone their donation until they are feeling better.
Regardless, of the type of vaccine an individual receives, all donors must be symptom-free and feeling well at the time of donation. If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS.

Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood. The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received, including boosters: There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with a non-replicating inactivated or RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of donation. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. 
Deferral times for donations may vary depending on which brand of vaccine you received. The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
