Pennsylvania SB957 allows patients to choose autologous blood donations and mandates disclosure of blood donor vaccination status.

Pennsylvania SB957, known as the Blood Transparency and Patient Rights Act, provides patients with the right to elect the use of their own blood or directed donations for medical procedures. It also requires medical facilities and blood providers to disclose the vaccination status of blood donors upon patient request. This disclosure is part of the informed consent process for blood transfusions, except in life-threatening emergencies.
