Donors can be
‘a force for good’ with Star Wars Rogue T-shirt
Community Blood Center is thanking donors for being “a force for good”
with the “Rogue Blood Donor – A Story of Hope” Star Wars inspired
t-shirt, free to everyone who registers to donate. Donors are
encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or
call 1-800-388-GIVE.
The Star Wars saga, a favorite science fiction fantasy with its
enduring theme of hope, returns to the silver screen this holiday
season. The “Rogue Blood Donor – a Story of Hope” t-shirt is
black with the iconic moon-sized space station in the shape of a blood
drop. It’s free to anyone who registers to donate Monday, Dec. 5
through Saturday, Jan. 7 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile
blood drives.
The holiday period can be a challenging time for maintaining the area
blood supply. If you must miss an appointment to donate please
reschedule when you can. We especially encourage the continued
support of type O whole blood donors and type A/B platelet and plasma
donors.
CBC NOW TESTING FOR ZIKA VIRUS
Community Blood Center is now testing blood donations for the Zika
virus in compliance with recommendations issued by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration to protect the blood supply.
In August the FDA recommended universal testing of all donated whole
blood and blood components for the Zika virus in the U.S. and its
territories. Ohio and Indiana are among the states that were scheduled
to begin testing by Nov. 18, 2016 or sooner. CBC began testing
Monday, Nov. 14, 2016.
With Zika testing now in place, CBC is no longer deferring donors for
travel to Zika endemic areas.
The new Zika testing system is investigational and all donations
submitted for testing are part of a research study. By consenting
to give blood donors are agreeing to participate in the research
study. The results from the study will help develop better
testing systems to protect the blood supply.
CBC reminds donors that non-Zika related travel restrictions still
apply. They can impact the available blood supply by limiting the
number of people able to donate. CBC encourages eligible donors
to schedule appointments and donate when able.
