Donate Convalescent Plasma at the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross is seeking people who are fully recovered from COVID-19 to donate plasma to help current coronavirus patients. People who have fully recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies in their plasma that can attack the virus. This convalescent plasma is being evaluated as treatment for patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections, or those judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease.

You may qualify to donate plasma for coronavirus patients if you meet these requirements:

• You are at least 17 years old and weigh 110 pounds. Additional weight requirements apply for donors age 18 or younger
• You are in good health. You generally feel well, even if you're being treated for a chronic condition (view blood donation FAQs here)
• You have a prior, verified diagnosis of COVID-19, but are now symptom-free and fully recovered from COVID-19
