What's in it for you? They have really got a good incentive for this one. You not only receive an Free Bahama Bucks Voucher for a Shaved Ice Treat, but you also get Free Covid-19 Antibody Testing. That is a big one right there. I would love to know if I had at anytime gotten the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and already have anti-bodies.

If you want to give, and you have already had the Covid-19 Vaccine, don't worry. Donation is safe if you have been given any of these vaccines. Your antibody test is not likely to be positive though, since you got the vaccine. The screening test is designed to detect a variety of antibodies that form when you have actually gotten ill with the Coronavirus. Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center is testing all donations for antibodies.
