As restrictions tighten the pools
of eligible donors, the need for
blood continues to rise.
Robertson Blood Center’s
needs are now at 1,000 pints per
month, a dramatic increase from
their former monthly goal.
“We are hitting between 350
and 500 pints each month right
now,” Tharpe said. “We are half-
way there.”
Unit blood drives are vital to
hitting that goal, and are a semi-
annual Fort Hood requirement,
per Fort Hood Regulation40-17.
Tharpe said the key is finding
room on a unit’s training schedule
to host a blood drive.
“I’ve never heard a commander
not want to participate,” she said.
Those who cannot donate
blood can still do their part for the
Army Blood Program by encour-
aging others to give, by organizing
a blood drive or baking cookies
for the blood drives, Tharpe said.
“Even if you just bring one per-
son, that’s more than we would
have had,” she said.
Those with questions and units
wishing to schedule a blood drive
should call Tharpe at 287-5938 or
email Catherine.tharpe@us.army,
mil.

health professional or call 1.800.342.9647
could have been exposed to mad
cow disease through infected meat
during those years living outside
the continental U.S. in Europe.
“That was when (the disease)
was predominant,” Tharpe said.
“OCONUS com-
missaries were
buying local beef
instead of the
imported beef
(purchased now).”
Because the cur-
rent test for mad
cow disease or
its human form,
Creutzfeldt-J akob
disease, involves
a sample of brain
tissue, Tharpe said
the blanket time-
frame of deferrals
is the most effec-
tive way to ensure
safe collections.
Fort Hood’s is
not the only blood
center affected by
the deferrals.
“There are the
same restrictions
everywhere, mili-
tary and civilian,”
Tharpe said.
The changes
for those with
service in Europe
took effect in March and Thar-
pe and her staff have been busy
getting the word out to Soldiers
and Family members at Fort
Hood.
The deferrals placed on
Indefinite blood donation
deferrals placed on those who
served in Europe have changed,
potentially opening
donation opportu-
nities to some pre-
viously prevented
from donating.
Previously, those
who served in
Europe for a cumu-
lative of six months
or England for
three cumulative
months between
1980-1996 were
indefinitely
deferred because
of concern from
bovine spongiform
encephalopathy or
mad cow disease.
The six and three
month restric-
tions still apply,
but the years have
been shortened to
between 1980 and
1990.
Those who have
a cumulative five
years of service in
Europe or Saudi
Arabia from 1980
through today are still indefinitely
deferred from donating blood,
Catherine Tharpe, donor recruit-
er, Robertson Blood Center, said.
The restrictions are based on
the concern that those individuals
