Supply of both O+ and O- has dwindled due to cancelled donation appointments (presumably due to cold/flu season ramping up) and levels are critically low.

O blood is the most sought after blood type as they are both universal donors. O- in particular can be given to almost anyone and is often the blood type used in emergency transfusions.

If you’ve been thinking of donating, or you’re due for a donation, now is a good time to book in.
