Blood Drive At Library

There will be a Vitalant community blood drive at the Winston County Library on Friday  February 19th from 11a.m. – 2 p.m. Face coverings are required for donors and staff. You must  call the library for your donor appointment 662-773-3212.  

On the day of the blood drive, go to vitalant.org/health to fill our your confidential health  questionnaire. Once you’ve filled in your information, review your responses and then click “finish” to generate your Fast Track Ticket. Print and bring your Fast Track Ticket with you. If  you’re using a smart phone or tablet, zoom in on the bar code and take a screenshot, or save  your ticket as a PDF. 

Vitalant is testing blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies to find potential convalescent  plasma donors. “Blood donations are down significantly across Mississippi, so it is vital that  blood drives, such as this one, be successful,” said librarian Beth Edwards. “Please consider  giving on February 19th.”
