Flu season leads to fewer blood donations
WOODSTOCK — Blood donations to the Heartland Blood Center are down during the past few months, and employees say the flu is to blame.
Heartland Team Leader Tammy Hughes was operating the blood truck Friday at Northwood Middle School in Woodstock and said donations have dropped off lately.
“It's definitely down,” she said. “We've had a big decrease in the last couple of months. The flu has been very tough on our drive. A lot of people have been sick.”
