Blood donation instead of testing – Vorarlberger Nachrichten

Lochau Despite Corona, the annual blood donation campaign of the Austrian Red Cross will take place on Wednesday, March 24th, from 5 to 9 p.m. Attention: There will be no Covid-19 tests on this evening.

103 blood products

After the proud result of 103 blood products last year, the Vorarlberg Blood Donation Service is expecting numerous women and men to voluntarily donate blood again this year, of course from all over the Leiblach Valley. People donating blood for the first time are asked to present an official photo ID. All healthy women and men between the ages of 18 and 70 are called upon to donate blood every eight weeks. Each blood donor receives a blood donor card with blood group, Rhesus factor and Kell factor.

Each blood bag is also tested for HIV or hepatitis B and C, among other things. First-time donors should not be older than 60 years. All information on the Internet at www.blut.at and under the free service number 0800 190 190. bms
