Community Blood Center
Celebrate fall
with ‘Buckeye Strong’ coffee tumbler
DAYTON, Ohio – Area sponsors will host Community Blood Center blood
drives throughout October. The “Buckeye Strong Blood Donor”
ceramic coffee tumbler is a warm gift to everyone who registers to
donate. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online
at www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
CBC is celebrating the fall season and college football with the
“Buckeye Strong Blood Donor” ceramic tumbler with removable silicone
grip. It’s free to anyone who registers to donate Monday, Oct. 10
through Saturday, Dec. 3 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile
blood drives.
CBC TO BEGIN TESTING FOR ZIKA VIRUS
Community Blood Center is taking necessary steps to comply with new
recommendations issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to
protect the blood supply against the Zika virus.
The FDA has recommended universal testing of all donated whole blood
and blood components for the Zika virus in the U.S. and its
territories. CBC has applied for use of the blood screening test. Ohio
and Indiana are among the states that have until Nov. 18, 2016 to begin
testing.
CBC will continue the screening methods in place to defer potential
donors for 28 days who have traveled to Zika endemic areas in the prior
four weeks. The list of active Zika transmission areas includes
Florida’s Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County, as well as the
Caribbean, Mexico and Central or South America.
CBC asks all donors to be aware that travel restrictions impact the
available blood supply by further limiting the number of people able to
donate. CBC encourages eligible donors to schedule appointments
and donate when able.
