Who can donate blood

Anyone in good health can donate blood from their 18th birthday up to one day before their 73rd birthday.

First-time donors can donate blood up to the age of 64.

The maximum donor age for multiple donors is 72 years (ie up to one day before the 73rd birthday).

In the case of multiple donors over the age of 68 and first-time donors over the age of 60, admission is based on an individual medical assessment.

Women can donate blood four times and men six times within twelve months.

There must be a minimum interval of 56 days between two blood donations.

When you donate blood, you must bring an official photo ID such as an ID card, passport or driver's license (the original) and the blood donation card.

For first-time donors, an official photo ID is sufficient.

Donors with flu or cold symptoms will not be allowed to donate.

There is an unavoidable obligation to wear medical mouth and nose protection (at least a surgical mask) on all appointments offered.

Blood donation is generally possible without any problems before and after a (booster) vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.

According to the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, no deferral until the next blood donation is required for all vaccines currently used in Germany.

However, as a precautionary measure, we recommend waiting one day after the vaccination before donating blood in order to be able to limit any side effects that may occur.

More first-time donors

With a view to the past summer, the BSD would like to thank all blood donors as well as honorary and full-time helpers for their tireless commitment.

Fortunately, more first-time donors were welcomed at the appointments.

The aim now is to bind the mostly young lifeguards to donating blood in the long term.

After a corona infection, donors can be admitted to donate again two weeks after recovery.

All relevant information and current regulations are summarized here: www.blutspendedienst.com/coronavirus.

Why donating blood is so important

In Bavaria alone, around 2,000 blood units are needed every day.

One blood donation can help up to three sick or injured people.

A blood donation is help that arrives and gives seriously ill patients a chance of survival.
