    Default Where to donate blood?

    Watching the live feed of TVNZ3 and she keeps saying that they need us to donate blood. But never says who to call or where to go.

    I have some "special" blood so would be happy to share some but don't have a clue where to do it. I don't even know what organization does that here.

    Help?

    Are they desperate enough to take our UK blood I wonder?

    Just saw this on Facebook
    New Zealand Blood Service News media is incorrectly reporting that the Blood Service needs donors now. This is not the case. If and when we need donors we will let you know through Facebook and our website. Please spread the word that this is the case and we'll let you guys know if the situation changes.

    I think they will take our American blood.

    I got this from another ENZ thread:


    You must not have lived in the United Kingdom, France or the Republic of Ireland between 1980 and 1996 for a cumulative 6 months or more.

    You'd think that in this day and age they would be able to screen our 'mad cow' British blood

    OR that they'd take the blood of life vegetarians, but there we go.
