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?????

Thank you for the response. The reason I ask; After discussions with my oncologist and hematologist I decided not to get the vaccine. We had plans and orders set should I have gotten covid. For whatever reason (i have no way to know why) I never got covid. I do not want to get political, so all I will say is that for now I want to remain unvaccinated with the mrna. I have an appointment (seems every week I have appointments) with the blood doctor from FCS Tuesday, and want to discuss the other type of vaccine (not MRNA). At the same time I will be discussing the blood transfusions (ie my original question). IF I get to see the actual hematologist, and not a PA or aide, I would like to come to the appointment with as much knowledge as possible. Googleing it does not come up with much info.. I would love to have the luxury of having a detailed discussion with my doctor, but that is rare. Thank you again for the response.
