Blood supply sees 30-year low; only 4 percent of eligible blood donors give
Blood is essential and can’t be manufactured. If it could be, that would be necessary right now. Only 4 percent of individuals who could donate blood are actually doing it. Additionally, in 30 years, the blood supply has never seen such a chronic low as it has since the beginning of the pandemic. New volunteer blood donors are urgently needed to revitalize a local blood supply and save more Texas patients’ lives.
