The Mount Sinai Health System has initiated a procedure known as plasmapheresis. Antibodies from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can be transferred to critically ill patients to help them fight the disease. This process was used successfully in China, according to a state-owned organization, with some patients improving within 24 hours.
If you had COVID-19, your blood may contain these antibodies. Mount Sinai is seeking volunteers in the Five Towns area to have their blood tested.
- You tested positive 21 days or more ago
- You have been symptom free (no fever, shortness of breath, chills, cough or sore throat) for 14 days
If the answer is yes to both, you may be a prospective donor. Please complete the attached form so that we can contact you.
If you qualify to donate, we will call you to schedule an appointment for a blood draw at our Mount Sinai Doctors Five Towns practice.
