Here is what Vitalant is doing to keep donors and patients safe:

• • We are requiring donors to wear a mask or other reasonable cloth-based face covering.
• • People who meet certain travel and other at-risk criteria for coronavirus infection are deferred ahead of time from donating. Learn More
• • We are checking temperatures upon check-in.
• • Only healthy people are encouraged to come give blood. In fact, donors must be feeling well and free of respiratory illness symptoms, including fever, to be eligible to donate.
• • We are using CDC guidelines for social distances at our donor centers and blood drives.
• • Our staff wear gloves and wash their hands regularly; they wipe down donor-touched areas often and after every collection using disinfectant.
• • Staff use sterile, single-use collection sets for each donor and cleanse the donor’s arm for 30 seconds with an antiseptic before the collection.
• • Staff who don’t feel well are required to stay home.
• • There are no reported cases of coronavirus transmission to a patient through a blood transfusion.
• Here is our complete list of COVID-19 FAQs.

Thank you for helping us maintain a stable blood supply during this challenging time. Hospital patients rely on blood donors every day. There is no other source for lifesaving blood.
