NHS appeals for plasma donors
NHS Blood and Transplant is urging people in Tooting hitting the 28-day Covid-19 recovery mark to register as plasma donors.
People can only donate 28 days after they’ve recovered, so the number of potential donors is now at the highest ever level following the national record number of cases over the New Year.
Donation takes about 45 minutes. Your body quickly replaces the donated plasma and donated antibodies. All donations are tested for COVID antibodies.
Men, black and Asian people, and people aged over 35, are more likely to have the high antibody levels needed for donation.
People can register to donate online at www.nhsbt.nhs.uk
