We want to remind you that Bloodworks welcomes donors who were previously unable to give under the Mad Cow deferral! This change took effect in January 2023 and is related to time spent in the UK, France, and Ireland due to the risk of vCJD also known as Mad Cow Disease. If you have specific eligibility questions or want to schedule an appointment, please contact our Donor Care Team at (800)-398-7888. #BloodworksNW #MadCow #DonateBlood
