Plasma is an ESSENTIAL Industry

Plasma vials ready to be filled

Thank you for continuing to donate with Octapharma Plasma. Your donations are essential in the manufacturing of life-saving medicines. Although many states are now experiencing “shelter in place” or “stay at home” directives, the CDC has mandated this does not apply to plasma donation centers and our donors. Now more than ever, your donations are needed to save lives around the world.

Our top priority is one of keeping our donors, patients, and communities safe. With this in mind, you may notice some new processes as we work to implement social distancing precautions. Please speak to your local donation center staff for more information.
