The need for local blood donations remains high as coronavirus vaccines become more available and people begin to resume more of their normal activities.
People who have received a coronavirus vaccine can donate blood so long as they are symptom-free, feeling well and can provide the vaccine manufacturer’s name, according to the American Red Cross. There is no waiting period after getting a vaccine dose.
All blood types are needed, especially type O, to refuel the country’s blood stockpile for the spring and summer.
People who donate blood, platelets or plasma in May through the Red Cross will be automatically entered for a chance to win a travel trailer camper that sleeps five from Suburban Propane. Anyone who donates between May 1 and 15 will receive a $5 Amazon gift card by email courtesy of Suburban Propane.
Red Cross blood drives follow coronavirus safety protocols including temperature screening, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff.
