Type O blood needed

United Blood Services issued an urgent appeal Monday for type O blood donors. The need for type O blood is nationwide.

Six percent of the population has O-negative, but it can be given to anyone. O-positive is the most prevalent type – 37 percent of the population – so it’s in greater demand.

Donors may call (505) 246-1457 or visit www.UnitedBloodServices.org/nm to make an appointment to donate.

Donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Youngsters age 16 must have signed permission from a parent.
