Nationwide Critical Blood Shortage: Type O Donors Needed

January 15, 2013

CANTON, Ohio (Jan. 2, 2013) — All eligible blood donors, especially blood type O, are strongly encouraged to give blood, as type O blood inventories have dropped to critically low levels nationwide. Type O-negative blood is especially important because it can be transfused to patients of any blood type.
