• Observing social distancing guidelines where possible.
• Wearing gloves and changing/sanitizing them between donors.

• Wiping down donor-touched and other high-touch areas often and after every collection.
• Requiring staff members to diligently monitor for symptoms, stay home when they are ill or suspect illness.

Help give back to your community

– COVID-19 continues to pose no known risk to patients receiving blood transfusions. There are no reported cases of transmission of this virus via blood transfusion. There is no inherent risk of getting coronavirus from the donation procedure itself.

To support a safe environment, effective Aug. 9, masks are required for donors, staff and guests at Vitalant blood drives and facilities regardless of vaccination status. Thank you for your understanding as we all continue to navigate through this pandemic.

• Vitalant continues to follow CDC and OSHA guidance when determining our COVID-19 safety policies.
• The CDC’s latest guidance on July 27 recommends masks for vaccinated individuals indoors in areas with high or substantial transmission rates, as well as for those unvaccinated and, like other blood services providers, Vitalant made the decision to eliminate the guess work, err on the side of safety and require masks for everyone at this time.
• We appreciate your understanding as this decision was made in the interests of protecting our valued donors, staff and guests.
• Vitalant will continue to have masks available for those who need one.
