MEDIC Regional Blood Center continues to screen all donors for COVID-19 Antibodies though September 30. Antibody testing is an effort to identify COVID Convalescent Plasma (CCP) donors to increase inventories to meet the demand of regional hospitals. Donors should be healthy and well when donating. Donors must have a successful blood or blood-related product donation to receive the antibody test. The need for COVID Convalescent Plasma is urgent. MEDIC is requiring appointments for all donors. This will allow for social distancing and to control donor flow. Donors must also wear a mask or face covering. Appointments can be made online at www.medicblood.org using the donate link. Appointments can also be made by calling 865-524-3074.
