This in turn forced healthcare workers to tap into the state\u2019s reserves.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Blood donors urgently needed July 3 for Saving Arizona blood drive @ TCA.  The Independence holiday week is the lowest time of the summer for donations.  All types needed, but type-O blood down to one-day supply for Arizona hospitals.

This comes as Vitalant is reportedly holding a massive blood drive in Tempe. They are reportedly offering both cash incentives and a car raffle to those who donate.<\/p>\n<p>Donors are being asked to still wear a face mask if they are not vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-texas-sheriffs-and-ice-sue-biden-admin-for-failure-to-deport-illegal-immigrants\/\">Report: Texas Sheriffs And ICE Sue Biden Admin.
