Blood Drive for Blood Shortage
February 1, 2022 @ 8:00 am - February 28, 2022 @ 5:00 pm MST
Donors Critically Needed to End National Blood Shortage (February Locations)
Cities: Casa Grande, Coolidge, Globe, Maricopa, Oro Valley & Tucson
A national blood shortage is further stressing the nation’s fragile healthcare system. Vitalant, which services about 900 hospitals across 28 states, including 62 in Arizona, is currently experiencing a historic, two-year low blood supply. The fast-spreading omicron variant is the latest COVID-19 complication forcing additional community blood drives to cancel and lessening the number of healthy and available donors. “It’s important for people to remember that they can give blood immediately after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine if you’re healthy and well,” said Vitalant Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ralph Vassallo. “To ensure patient care isn’t jeopardized, we need people to schedule an appointment today. Even if the appointment is several weeks from now, setting and keeping it will help replenish what’s needed for both routine treatments and emergencies.”
Donors are urged to make an appointment now: visit vitalant.org or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825).
