Bill overview
This bill requires blood donation centers in South Dakota to ask donors if they have received a COVID-19 or mRNA vaccine and to label blood bags accordingly. It also allows individuals receiving blood transfusions in non-emergency situations to request blood from donors who have or have not been vaccinated. Healthcare providers must fulfill these requests, and no restrictions can be placed on a patient’s choice of blood based on the donor’s vaccination status. The bill aims to provide transparency in blood donation practices and patient care.
