Skin injuries can be entry points for bacteria and viruses. To protect blood recipients from these, small skin injuries must be closed, dry and not inflamed. Cold sores and larger wounds must be healed.
Medicine
Whether or not you are authorised to give blood must be clarified via the freephone number 0800 148 148 or via info@ichspendeblut.ch.
Vaccination
There are waiting periods of between 48 hours and 4 weeks for a vaccination. Check your vaccination in the vaccination check, via the freephone number 0800 148 148 or via info@ichspendeblut.ch.
Check your travel destination in the Travel Check. In certain regions there is a risk of infectious
diseases such as dengue or malaria. Even if you take the best possible precautions when travelling,
there is a small residual risk that you may be infected without knowing it.
West Nile virus
We test your blood for West Nile virus from July to December. If you have travelled to regions where only the West Nile virus is present, you can give blood at our clinic during this time without a waiting period.
Unfortunately, you cannot donate at the moment.
You can give blood again 4 months after the tattoo or piercing have been done.
(Small) injuries occur during these treatments. These can be entry points for bacteria and viruses. A waiting period of 4 months applies so that inflammation or infection can be ruled out.
If you change partners (protected or unprotected intercourse), there is a risk of infectious diseases.
If you change partners (1 new partner), you can donate again 4 months after the change of partner.
If you have had more than 2 new partners in the last 4 months, you can donate again 12 months after the last change of partner.
Unfortunately, you cannot donate at the moment.
After a tick bite without further symptoms, you can give blood after four weeks. If you have any symptoms, please contact us on the freephone number 0800 148 148 or via info@ichspendeblut.ch.
