Sept. 4, 2020 – We need to constantly replenish our blood supply, especially around the Labor Day holiday when donations typically drop by as much as 25%.

Vitalant is testing all successful blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies.

Donors that receive positive antibody test results are strongly encouraged to apply online to become convalescent plasma donors to help COVID-19 hospital patients with their lifesaving plasma once eligibility requirements are met.

For more information, visit vitalant.org/antibodytest.  

Vitalant is calling on fully recovered COVID-19 survivors to donate convalescent plasma to help critically ill hospital patients combat the virus.

To donate convalescent plasma, recovered COVID-19 patients must meet eligibility requirements, including a prior laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19, either by a positive swab test or a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

They must also be symptom-free for at least 28 days and meet all additional FDA requirements for automated plasma donations.

For information and to apply to be a convalescent plasma donor, visit Vitalant.org/COVIDfree or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825).
