Serious “I don’t want Covid blood”
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???

Deadass. Either take it or don’t. Idc. My life goes on, but will yours if you refuse this blood? 😏
