JACKSON, Tenn. LIFELINE Blood Services says they are in critical need of blood donations.
LIFELINE released their inventory numbers for various blood types on Monday. LIFELINE says these numbers were updated at 8 a.m. April 19:
O-positive: in stock, 9 units; goal, 142 units
A-positive: in stock, 2 units; goal 82 units
B-positive: in stock, 2 units; goal, 37 units
O-negative: in stock, 6 units; goal 34 units
LIFELINE says the need for blood is a national issue, but it hinders LIFELINE’s ability to import blood from other centers, according to a news release.
Blood centers across the country have reported declines in blood collections recently, and some, including LIFELINE, have reported the lowest donor turnout in over a year, the release says.
