Donors of all blood types are urged to book a time to give now, especially those with type O blood or those giving platelets.ĭon’t wait – patients are counting on critical care this fall.

Since announcing a national blood and platelet shortage a month ago, thousands of donors across the country have rolled up a sleeve to help rebuild the American Red Cross blood and platelet supply.
