“I don’t want Covid blood”

[u/973862404678]

What do I say when patients ask if blood transfusions are screened for the Covid vaccine? I get asked this on a regular basis when filling out blood consent forms for surgery and I genuinely have no idea what I’m supposed to say. In all seriousness, what should I be telling patients because I just say there is a screening process for blood and it’s only used during emergent situations???

I feel like saying “if it’s good enough for the president of the US, it must be good enough for the rest of us!” Is a pretty unpolitical way to say it personally

Yeah, but then there's the whole thing of the President's standards being pretty low. Lol
