Original Note:
The Red Cross did only accept convalescent plasma from unvaccinated donors with confirmed previous symptomatic COVID-19. However, they could have included vaccinated donors but didn’t, as FDA rules required added screening, and demand was met using unvaccinated donors alone. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/scicheck-red-cross-accepts-and-uses-blood-donations-from-people-vaccinated-against-covid-19/
