Blood Donation Needed!
Blood supply centers have declared a “Code Red” alert due to the ongoing blood shortage affecting hospitals and trauma centers across the Pacific Northwest, reporting less than a 24-hour supply over the past three weeks.
To ensure adequate supply, blood supply centers are urgently seeking blood donations from Washington State residents.
What’s needed?
Types O and A blood are in critically short supply, but all blood types are needed.
Who can donate?
Generally, anyone age 18 and older can donate. Children ages 16-17 can donate with
a parent’s permission.
You may not be able to donate (or may have to wait) if you have certain health conditions
or have had recent medical procedures or some non-COVID vaccinations. Contact the
blood supply center to confirm your eligibility (or check their website) before scheduling
an appointment.
You are immediately eligible to donate after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. There
is no waiting period for blood donors who received the Johnson & Johnson, Moderna,
or Pfizer vaccine.
What’s causing the shortage?
A sustained increase in patient demand for blood, combined with low donor turnout, means only 85 percent of the blood needed is now available. Washington hospitals’ needs are fluctuating daily between 10 and 18 percent above normal usage. Blood supply centers are asking hospitals to actively conserve blood when possible.
How to donate
To ensure staff and donors’ safety, blood donations can be made by appointment only. You can visit any of the blood supply centers’ websites below to make an appointment:
- American Red Cross: https://redcrossblood.org/
- Bloodworks NW: https://schedule.bloodworksnw.org
- Cascade Regional Blood Services: https://donor.crbs.net/donor/auth/signin
- Vitalant Blood: https://vitalant.org
