AB male plasma donors needed New Windsor — Community Blood Services is urging eligible male AB plasma donors to schedule an appointment to donate at one of its New Jersey or New York donor centers to help the center fill a request from the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense has placed an order for 400 units of Type AB plasma through America’s Blood Centers (ABC), North America’s network of non-profit community blood centers. Community Blood Services is a member center of ABC, and one of 14 member centers in this region’s hub and spoke system that provide blood or blood products when requested by the Department of Defense. Community Blood Services will collect some of the requested plasma units and ship them to a central location to be transported directly to the Department of Defense. Additional plasma is needed by the military to supplement its existing supply because collections are impacted by vacations, as is true throughout the U.S. during the summer months, and also by other factors the military faces at this time of the year.
