Urgent need for blood donors

In this world of COVID-19, local and regional hospitals are also seeing more cases of trauma victims.  The Blood Connection says the hospitals have an increasing nee for blood.  The local supply has been depleted, meaning there’s a need for the public to donate.  If you have received either a first or second COVID vaccination, you can donate blood.  Because of the vaccine, there have been changes to the eligibility for convalescent blood donors.  More information, including safety measures, can be found on the COVID webpage of the Blood Connection.
