Yes. They will want you to have recovered from it, and be healthy, but that is fine. Shingles isn't 'in' your blood. You will have to have had no piercings/tattoos in the last year, gone out of the country in the last year, and be above the weight limit, but otherwise, you should be good to go. go give blood!

∙ 11y agoCurrent eligibility guidelines for potential volunteer blood donors with prior or current varicella virus infection/exposure are as follows:
If not previously infected, defer 21 days after exposure. Otherwise accept. Defer for active infection until 1 week after lesions resolved. If injected with VZIG (varicella immune globulin) post-exposure, defer 2 months.

∙ 6y agoI'm unsure what you're asking. Donating blood won't cause shingles in the person donating blood. If the person donating blood has an active shingles infection they won't allow blood donation at that time. Once the outbreak subsides the blood should be safe to donate. Tell the phlebotomist about the shingles infection, though.
