Actually, you posed a very interesting question. I don't know definitively, but my guesstimate would be as follows:

The original mRNA in the vaccine disappears after a few hours, so it is no longer present. The antibodies against the virus should be present, otherwise there's no point in the vaccine. However, those antibodies are present in the blood plasma component---transfusions are packed red cells that do not contain any significant amount of plasma/serum, so my answer is no.

Now a question in return----what does it matter if you received any mRNA or anti-COVID antibodies in a transfusion?????
