Had a NHS message to donate plasma.
I know a few on here have done so but what’s the process involve?

Does plasma still offer antibodies protection or s it still being debated?

They've stopped the universal trial for anyone who had the virus. They are, however, continuing for those who have strong antibody reaction.
 
Scotland vaccination update:



462, 092 have had first dose of vaccine - 24, 192 yesterday. Up from 22. 498 day before.

This means 56% of the over 80s living in the community have now been vaccinated to add to the 95% confirmed from within the care home community.

Plasma programme

We have now completed two major trials for convalescent plasma for people in hospital with coronavirus and no longer need convalescent plasma donors to come forward to donate.

Once a month I donate Platelets and Plasma and it usually takes about 50 - 55 mins for my donation.

Thank you that is reassuring. I guess it depends on where the ongoing EU battle goes. Though I expect most of the coming vaccinations will be the Oxford one as we seem to have the majso may not make much difference.

The EU are asking for vaccines manufactured by AZ in Britain to be sent to the EU as a quid pro quo for the ones allegedly earmarked for the EU (manufactured in Belgium and the Netherlands I think) that were sent to the U.K. I don’t think that’s going to happen because we and AZ will presumably just say we’ve had our contracted supply quantities.

Mum's getting her vaccination today. Relieved that both parents have now had one dose, hopefully they won't have to wait too long for the second jab.

Great news that
My mum had her jab last week and today got an appointment for 11 April for-the second
It does seem to be happening really quickly

Thanks mate.
Wasn’t sure why I was contacted when I presumed the trials had stopped.

Very likely I’ll look at doing this once I fully pick up.
