As hospitals return to elective surgeries, the American Red Cross experiences a severe blood shortage.
The nonprofit’s Los Angeles chapter is rushing to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations each day to meet the demand as hospitals see an influx of patients with traumas, organ transplants while handling elective surgeries and emergency room visits.
The American Red Cross urges donors of all blood types, particularly type O and those giving platelets, to make an appointment as soon as possible.
Marilyn Jimenez Davila, a regional communications manager, said as people are planning their vacations, they often forget to donate and with the surge of a number of surgeries, the nonprofit has seen a greater need for blood.
Vaccinated people can still donate although they would need to name the manufacturer of the vaccine as it might determine donation eligibility, according to Red Cross. Fully vaccinated individuals, including staff and donors, won’t be asked to wear masks or socially distance while unvaccinated individuals will be required to use masks, according to the nonprofit.
Those who will donate blood from July 7 unitl 31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card via email and will also receive automatic entry for a chance to win gas of a $5,000 value. More information and details are available at rcblood.org/fuel.
Residents who will donate blood throughout the entire month of July will be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for four to Cedar Point or Knott’s Berry Farm.
To schedule an appointment to give blood or platelets by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

About blood donation
To donate blood, individuals need to bring a blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification that are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also must meet certain height and weight requirements.
Donors can also save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by completing a RapidPass. With RapidPass, donors complete the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of donation, from a mobile device or computer. To complete a RapidPass, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
Health insights for donors
At a time when health information has never been more important, the Red Cross is also screening all blood, platelet and plasma donations from self-identified African American donors for the sickle cell trait.
This additional screening will provide Black donors with an additional health insight and help the Red Cross identify compatible blood types more quickly to help patients with sickle cell disease. Blood transfusion is an essential treatment for those with sickle cell disease, and blood donations from individuals of the same race, ethnicity and blood type have a unique ability to help patients fighting sickle cell disease.
Donors can expect to receive sickle cell trait screening results, if applicable, within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App and the online donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org.
