Use of plasma to fight COVID-19 declining

It was seen as a lifeline when the pandemic started, but desperate calls for your plasma have suddenly stopped.
There was a big push for recovered COVID-19 patients to donate convalescent plasma because it was the only safe treatment that doctors could trust. There were also a lot more patients in hospitals, so the Mayo Clinic opened a nationwide trial that NCH and Lee Health were a part of.
One reason for the decline in calls for plasma: the vaccine.
“So what we are seeing in Florida right now, and I can speak of Collier County, we’ve reached almost 84% of those over age 65 who have now been vaccinated. So it makes sense that you still are seeing a decline in the use of plasma,” said Dr. David Linder, NCH medical director for COVID-19.
