To help fight off COVID-19, Vitalant has launched a program that requires plasma from those who have recovered from COVID-19.

Those who have recovered have produced immune-boosting antibodies that could possibly fight off the disease, called convalescent plasma. This treatment could possible give those diagnosed with COVID-19 a fighting chance to recover from the disease.

Donations are desperately needed, so if you or someone you know meet these qualifications, please consider donating:

    • prior diagnosis of COVID-19, documented by a laboratory test
    • complete resolution of symptoms for at least 14 days (some hospitals require more time)
    • a current negative test result for COVID-19
    • all other donor eligibility for an automated plasma donation

You must be full recovery to donate, so please take care of yourself first before you try to take care of someone else. If you do meet the critceris, please consider filling out the form below:

For more information you can contact Vitalant.org/covidfree. For more information, please call 866-CV-PLSMA (866-287-5762).
