Can I no longer donate blood after a corona vaccination?
No, there is no such ban. Vaccinated people are allowed to donate blood. The corona vaccines do not contain any viruses that can replicate. They are also injected into the muscle, not the bloodstream. The Paul Ehrlich Institute responsible for vaccines sees no problem.
Blood donation services recommend taking a day off after the corona vaccination. If a vaccination reaction occurs, one should cure oneself before donating blood. With some vaccinations against other diseases, however, a break of several weeks is planned – for example with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination.
Conclusion:
No blood donation ban for corona vaccinated people: You can donate again shortly after the vaccination.
