Tulane Health System, Tulane School of Medicine and The Blood Center are seeking people fully recovered form COVID-19 to donate plasma that will be used to help patients currently suffering from COVID-19.
If you have been tested and diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past and have been feeling well for more than 14 days, you may be eligible to donate plasma to treat patients who are severely ill from COVID-19. Your plasma, known as Convalescent Plasma, may contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the coronavirus.
If you would be willing to donate plasma, please call (504) 321-1740 . You will then be contacted by a representative to determine your eligibility.
