Blood Bank of Alaska Conducting a Blood Drive on Wednesday
The Blood Bank of Alaska will be conducting a blood drive at the Delta Junction Community Center on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m.
Eligible donors must be between the ages of 16-74 (16 @ 17 y.o. require parental consent) and must weigh at least 110 pounds.
It is important to have a good meal and to be well hydrated before donating blood. In addition, we need to know any medications taken in the past four weeks. Unfortunately, if you have traveled to a malaria risk area in the past year or have received a tattoo or body piercing you will be deferred for a twelve month period. In addition, the FDA implemented that people who have spent more than three months in the UK or five years cumulatively in Europe are no longer able to donate. The FDA is also not accepting blood donations from people who received blood in the UK since 1980, or from people who had access to military bases in particulare European countries between 1980 & 1996.
There is no substitute for human blood and the need for blood never goes away. Each donation can save up to three lives. The entire process takes approximately one hour.
Please schedule your life saving appointment with Toni Lee @ 895-4159. Walk-ins are welcome. Thank you to the Delta Lions Club for sponsoring this blood drive.
