It's common for people to believe they are not eligible to donate blood due to misconceptions surrounding eligibility. However, it's important to understand the facts to dispel common myths, including:

  • Myth: I can't donate blood because I'm on medication.
  • Fact: Most medications do not disqualify you from donating.
  • Myth: Diabetics on insulin can't donate blood.
  • Fact: Diabetics on insulin can donate blood as long as their condition is well-managed.
  • Myth: I have a tattoo, so I can’t donate blood.
  • Fact: You can donate blood if your tattoo was done at a state-regulated tattoo shop. Wait three months after a tattoo is done in an unregulated facility.

You can get the facts on common misconceptions in the attached document. Mark your
calendars and spread the word - and let’s make a positive impact together!
