Blood banks in South Dakota must ask donors whether they've received a COVID-19 or mRNA vaccine and label blood bags from vaccinated donors accordingly, without revealing the donor's identity. Patients needing non-emergency blood transfusions can request blood from either vaccinated or unvaccinated donors, and healthcare providers must honor that request if the requested blood is available and cannot refuse care based on a patient's preference.
