The Blood Collection Ecosystem:
The Science Behind the Supply

These efforts continue to save countless lives.
Key Areas of Impact
Convalescent Plasma Shows Great Promise
The FDA recently authorized the emergency use of convalescent plasma in the ongoing fight to defeat coronavirus. Early studies have indicated these antibody treatments could potentially reduce mortality rates by 35% among COVID-positive patients with active symptoms. This development means we are one step closer to defeating this pandemic, but we need the public’s help. If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies, please consider donating your convalescent plasma to Vitalant. If you haven’t had coronavirus, you can make a financial donation that will go directly to supporting the safe collection, testing, and efficacy of convalescent plasma as a therapy for COVID-19.
Pledge your support.
Help the Blood Science Foundation advance cutting-edge research, provide a safe and ample blood supply, and meet the healthcare needs of patients in the regions we serve.
