Walmart and Vitalant Holding Susanville Blood Drive This Thursday

Recognizing the urgent need for blood and platelets in response to COVID-19 and the desire for local antibody testing, Vitalant will be offering free COVID-19 antibody testing for donors when you donate during Thursday’s blood drive at WalMart.

During the drive they will test all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to their donors.

This testing will provide critical insight into whether donors may have possibly been exposed to this coronavirus.

Vitalant will be in Susanville September 3rd with two Bloodmobile’s set up in the WalMart parking lot.

The drive will be accepting donors from 11:00a.m. until 3:00p.m.

To book your life-saving appointment go to bloodhero.com and enter the sponsor code N1SWM.

How is Vitalant Keeping Staff and Donors Safe?

  • Temperature checks – you must be under 99.5 F at check-in
  • Social distancing
  • Continuous sanitation
  • Masks required by staff and donors

Vitalant has more information on their website including eligibility information and information about protecting donors, staff, coordinators, and patients.
