All donors continue to be allowed on campus regardless of vaccination status. Please report directly to the Donor Center upon arrival and as usual, please reschedule your donation appointment if you are not feeling well. Thank you for your ongoing support of our blood donation program.
The Donor Center at Roswell Park strongly encourages individuals who are healthy and feeling well to make an appointment to donate blood or platelets. There is NO waiting period to donate after receiving the Pfizer, Moderna or J&J COVID-19 vaccines. Masks are no longer required inside the Donor Center.
