No. Rare blood can often be located through donor registries, blood banks, and voluntary donor networks, although it may take more time.
Rare blood groups are uncommon, making them more challenging to locate than common blood groups. Blood banks maintain records of rare donors, and voluntary donor communities also play an important role in helping patients find compatible donors when needed.
Because rare blood may not always be immediately available, regular registration and donation by rare blood group donors are especially valuable.
If you have a rare blood group, your donation could be the only compatible match for someone in need.
