Vitalant will also be accepting Convalescent Plasma during the event. “If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 and recovered, your plasma may be able to help patients currently fighting the virus,” the organization states. “Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood. Using a specialized process, we separate and collect only the plasma portion of your blood and safely return the remaining components (red blood cells and platelets) to you.” A plasma donation takes around an hour, but with the medical screening and review of health history, those who make a Convalescent Plasma donation should plan for about 2 hours. Once a donation is made, participants will then select which team receives their vote. The winning department will then have bragging rights for the year until the next Battle of the Badges.
