If it's a stagger because of the "blast" damage type, I'm not sure if that can be nullified by adding health. Another example is common infected. If you use "fire" or "blast" damage on "TakeDamage", even with 1 damage & at the same time adding 100 health, they'll still die instantly.

One of methods to prevent stagger when witch is still in stagger state is by using "Time()" to reset the stagger timer when witch is shoved. For example, if you want to make witch immune to stagger for 1 second, use something like:
If each survivor has this code, then each survivor has their own stagger cooldown on a witch. However, I'm not sure if the original L4D2 scripts will intervene or not, because based on the original L4D2, a staggering witch can be staggered continuously (I ever saw a video about someone killing a sitting witch with sniper headshot + shove + melee combo, like, after staggering her with a headshot, he kept hitting with a melee like 1-2 hits & then shoved her again before landing the last 2 hits to kill her).

Another method to prevent stagger is if you can find netprops that controls witch animation. Recently there's a mod that gives survivors different animations when falling from different height, so probably there's also netprops to detect stagger state on witch. If that is found, then all you need to do is triggering "TakeDamage" only when witch is not in that stagger animation.

But well, I'm also not sure if Geebanger wants this kind of stagger immunity on witch when she staggers. Afaik there's no problem in staggering a witch even when she's staggering, like it won't even cause a serious bug like a crash or a bugged witch when she's staggered continuously.

Yes, you're right with the infected thing, but it's specifically for the witch, so I don't see any problem using it since it's not an insta-kill.

Using Time() is kind of jank, the witch have different stagger sequences that differs in duration, especially the 'shoved to the wall' sequence. In addition, you can already shove a staggering witch no matter what, it's best to prevent unnecessary thing that has been in the game's feature until now.

The second method that you just mention is what I wrote in the comments of the code, which is checking the sequences, it is done by using built in functions in the CBaseAnimating class, but I am afraid it is out of way, since other scripts may set the sequence to a non staggering animation even though she is actually staggered.

Forcing gesture animations on survivors have nothing to do with checking the current sequence of the survivor, it doesn't update some networked properties related to animations at least from what I tested, which is the scary part.

No offense to anyone, make any script you want as long as there's isn't any console errors.
