If you have coworkers or others that ask you when you’re getting your vaccine, my reply is always this: “For the last 15 years, I have donated blood every 4 months to help people. Currently the Red Cross does not know if I can continue to donate if I take one of the vaccines, so I would prefer to wait for more data before I lose my chance to help others in this way.”
Freely given, Fren. It’s not even a lie. I can actually go further than that and say that I am a part of the National Bone Marrow Donation program, and I have the possibility to match with someone with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with further testing. It would be selfish of me to take an experimental vaccine and lose that opportunity
That's nice of you. I tell them the truth too, which is, I won't take the vaccine and I've never gotten flu shots either. I've tried zinc and quercetin, and it works great.

FLAWLESS VICTORY
Yes I will have to use this as an argument. Been giving blood for years.
Nice. I will shamelessly steal. Thank you.

I think I’m in same program. So I’ll have to also shamelessly steal this reason.

Chronic illness tends to up the risk of a reaction -- your immune system is likely already in overdrive.
