Vitalant blood donors needed

Vitalant donors can also learn their antibody status and may help COVID-19 patients
Cities: Casa Grande, Coolidge, Eloy, Florence, Maricopa, Oro Valley, Sierra Vista & Tucson

Every day, organ and blood marrow transplant patients require blood transfusions; a single liver transplant patient can need 20 or more units of blood. Nonprofit blood services provider Vitalant urges all who are eligible to give blood to make an appointment now to give in April, National Donate Life Month. For a limited time, all donations will be tested and results will be available in donors’ online accounts about two weeks later. Vitalant can produce convalescent plasma from donations that test sufficiently high for COVID-19 antibodies while red blood cells and other blood components may help trauma victims, cancer patients and other patients with serious health conditions. The antibodies in convalescent plasma can give COVID-19 patients with weakened immune systems an extra boost to help fight the disease. Learn more at vitalant.org/antibody.
