Amid overwhelming pandemic news, there are rays of light, including a new donation type for those donors fully recovered from COVID-19. Convalescent plasma* is a blood component containing antibodies that may give patients an extra boost to fight their illness.
People who have recovered from COVID-19 can join Vitalant’s COVID Rescue Team to donate potentially lifesaving convalescent plasma. Being part of the team has never been more important. This special blood plasma contains antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and each donation could be used to help up to four people still fighting COVID-19.
To find out if you qualify, register below and we’ll contact you by email within 24 hours with more information.
To be eligible for the COVID Rescue Team, you must have had COVID-19 symptoms plus:
Blood donors are NOT tested for coronavirus. Do not donate blood if you are sick.
NOTE: Donors who receive a positive antibody test result from Vitalant or any other blood bank or community screening effort are NOT automatically qualified to give a convalescent plasma donation.
If you have any questions about donating convalescent plasma or need assistance scheduling an appointment, call 866-CV-PLSMA (866-287-5762).

All blood and platelet donations are currently being tested for COVID-19 antibodies. If you test positive for COVID-19 antibodies, in the future you may be eligible to become a convalescent plasma donor and join the COVID Rescue Team.
If your blood test is negative for COVID-19 antibodies, your blood and platelet donations are still very much needed for patients undergoing surgery, cancer therapy and other medical treatments.
