YUMA BLOOD DRIVEEvents

July Blood Drive where all blood donations are tested for COVID19 Antibodies...an authorized Food and Drug Administration Test to indicate if the donor's immune system has produced antibodies to the virus,  regardless of whether they ever showed symptoms.  The antibody test IS NOT a way to find out if you are currently infected with this virus.  While a positive antibody test  does not mean that someone is immune to COVID 19, it does mean that they may be eligible  to donate  convalescent plasma and help people who are recovering from coronavirus infection.  Blood donors can log onto their Vitalant confidential donor portal to access results with in three weeks after their donation.  For more information, visit vitalant.org/antibodytest . Blood donations are expected to drop up to 30% on the days around the Independence Day holiday.  Donors are strongly urged to give blood as soon as possible. For an appointment, visit www.vitalant.org or call 877-258-4825.   YUMA:  Fri July 17  10 am - 2 pm  Yuma Regional Medical Ctr, 2400 S Ave A, Yuma   and Saturday, July 18 7:30 am - 11:30 am  Elks Lodge #476, 1917 W 32nd Street, Yuma..
