Why can't blood be donated for a year after a transfusion?
FDA guidelines require a temporary deferral of one year from date of transfusion for potential donors who have received blood products. This is to minimize the possibility of transfusion-transmitted diseases entering the blood supply. Though unlikely, there is a risk of transfusion-acquired infections with all blood component use. The one year deferral allows any potential disease to be present long enough to be detected by FDA-mandated screening tests.
