Blood Type A

Second most common of the 8 blood types

Your blood can help patients with AB+ and A+ blood types. 

Your blood type is ideal for platelet donations, which you can make every 7 days, and 7 days after a whole blood donation.

One of the rarest of the 8 blood types

Your blood can help patients with AB+, AB-, A+, and A- blood types. 

Your blood type is ideal for a Super Reds donation. You donate just red blood cells through an apheresis (ay-fur-ee-sis) donation. This donation results in twice as many red cells for patients, and it allows you to come in to donate two times a year with the same impact as donating whole blood six times a year. Give it a try at your next appointment.
