Type O donors: We need your help to meet patient needs! O+ is the most transfused blood type & can be used by patients of any Rh-positive blood type. O- is the universal blood type & is often used in emergencies. Don't wait. Make an appointment to donate. rcblood.org/appt
You can donate blood or platelets after receiving a flu or COVID-19 vaccine, as long as you're feeling healthy and well on the day of your donation. 👍
