In June 2020 – when much was still unknown about the COVID-19 virus – the Red Cross began testing all blood product donations for COVID-19 antibodies. With a majority of Americans now having received a COVID-19 vaccine and the discontinuation of convalescent plasma, the Red Cross has stopped testing most blood product donations for COVID-19 antibodies as of June 25, 2021. The Red Cross is continuing to participate in research efforts related to COVID-19 in communities across the country. As part of that effort, some blood product donations will be screened for COVID-19 antibodies and you may receive a request from the Red Cross to complete a survey.
If you received a COVID-19 antibody test during a previous donation, you will continue to have access to past test results online or through the Blood Donor App
If you donated blood, platelets or plasma between June 15, 2020 and June 25, 2021 the results of your previous antibody test(s) are available by logging in to your Blood Donor account on the Blood Donor App or online. You can also find the results of your mini-physical, including temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin levels.
Log in to your donor account on RedCrossBlood.org or the Blood Donor App to view past test results.
The Red Cross follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. For the safety of our donors and staff, the Red Cross will require all those at blood drives and blood donation centers to resume wearing face masks regardless of their vaccination status, effective Aug. 9.
