The San Diego Blood Bank will accept blood donations in Ocean Beach on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 1:30 to 7 p.m. The drive will be held at 4840 Niagara St., Rite Aid parking lot.
\nThe San Diego Blood Bank is experiencing a shortage of donations, due in part to the Zika virus travel deferral, which asks donors who\u2019ve traveled to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central or South America to wait 28 days after returning to the U.S. to begin donating again. All blood types are needed. Current inventory for the universal blood type, O negative, is at critically low levels.
\nDonors must meet the following eligibility requirements:
\n– 17 and older;
\n– 114 pounds and in good health.
\nIt is recommended that donors consume an adequate meal and plenty of fluids prior to giving. A photo identification must be presented upon signing up to donate.
\nDonors are encouraged to schedule an appointment for their convenience but walk-ins are also welcome. To schedule an appointment, call 619-469-7322 or visit www.SanDiegoBloodBank.org.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
