A member asked:

When the announce on the news an emergency appeal for blood, what types are they mostly looking for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any will do: Blood use often reflects the typical distribution of blood types in the country. O positive is the most common type, but cannot be given to those with o neg, a, b or ab. O neg may be compatible with all recipients pending verification so they love o neg donors. So whatever your type, they can use you if you meet the health requirements.
