There are a lot of questions still out there regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. When will the city have more at the walk-in clinic? Is the walk-in clinic open? Are there porta-potties in line at the walk-in clinic (I saw that one on Reddit)?
Another question being asked by those who regularly donate blood is, Can I still donate after getting the vaccine?
Coffee Memorial sent out a press release yesterday saying that yes, you can. Those who have received the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines are eligible to donate. You can donate blood and platelets.

Now, Coffee Memorial Blood Center is trying to give back.
Coffee Memorial Blood Center is part of a larger system, the Oklahoma Blood Institute. Existing within that system are 16 different blood centers across three states.
âCoffee Memorial Blood Center is a part of a larger system through Oklahoma Blood Institute based in Oklahoma City,â explained Emily Bell, events manager at Coffee Memorial Blood Center. âItâs our turn to give back right now and collect this convalescent plasma.â
