Blood, convalescent plasma supply low as Spring Break nears
Blood, convalescent plasma supply low as Spring Break nears and last updated 2021-03-04 23:39:10-05 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The Coastal Bend Blood Center hopes to lure people into rolling up their sleeves at their Fishin' for Donors event on Saturday. The blood drive is timed for the increased demand for blood that comes with the Spring Break period that's about to begin, and it comes at a time in which the center's blood supply is low. The same can be said for the supply of convalescent plasma -- plasma removed from a recovered COVID-19 patient used to treat current patients.
