Information For Donors
Â
Please be sure to eat a good meal and drink plenty of water within a few hours before donating, and bring photo ID and your blood donor card if you have one. If you’ve traveled outside the country in the last 3 years, please bring that information along (including dates) as well as any prescription information. You should not donate if you do not feel well.Â
Â
Beginning April 17, donors will be required to wear face coverings while at a blood drive. You can wear your own homemade mask or face covering, provided the cloth or homemade mask covers both your nose and mouth. If you are unable to wear a covering or mask, we ask that you please reschedule your donation.

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.

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