As Omicron continues to spread, it has wreaked havoc on blood drives statewide with many being cancelled due to schools and businesses going virtual. Hospital leaders are very concerned about having adequate blood for surgical, trauma and other patients. LifeSouth, the center that supplies blood to the vast majority of Alabama’s hospitals, reports that it currently only has a three-day supply of blood on its shelves for all blood types and no O negative blood. All blood types are needed. For more information or to find a blood drive visit https://www.lifesouth.org/.
