Vitalant faces critical shortage of type O blood

Vitalant is facing a critical shortage of type O blood, with supplies dropping to their lowest level in two years, according to the organization.

The blood bank is urging donors of all blood types, especially type O, to donate blood as soon as possible. A shortage of this vital blood type could impact patient care.

Vitalant encourages the public to make an appointment to donate blood at upcoming drives or visit their website at https://donors.vitalant.org/dwp/portal/dwa. Officials say more donors are needed to help overcome the shortage and save lives.
