January is designated as National Blood Donor Month. Below is some information on giving blood.
The minimum age to donate blood is 17 years old in most states, but some states allow 16-year-olds to donate with parental consent. Other requirements for donating blood include: Weighing at least 110 lbs, Being in good health, and Not having donated blood in the last 56 days. There are additional height and weight requirements for donors 18 years old and younger, and for high school student donors. Eligibility requirements are in place to protect the safety of donors and patients. The FDA establishes these requirements to ensure the blood supply is safe from bloodborne diseases and to protect patients from anything in a donor's blood that could harm them.
