Increased patient use of O+POSITIVE blood has caused an increased need for donors. Donate now!
Only around 2% of the population has Type B- blood, making it very unique due to it's rarity. Only Types B and AB can receive your Red Cells, so this type is extremely important for patients with Type B blood.
People with Type B- blood can only receive types B and O Negative... that's only 11% of the population!
Type B- donors are encouraged to give Double Red Cells if they qualify. If not, they are encouraged to donate whole blood as often as they can (every 8 weeks!) Read more about the Double Reds process here!
