Convalescent Plasma Army: The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity's Force Health Protection Division received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to implement an Expanded Access Protocol for "Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 with Anti-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 Convalescent Plasma." Maj. Juan Guzman, the chief of the Armed Services Blood Bank Center - Pacific Northwest, shows Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Thomas McCaffery where the center stores the convalescent plasma it collects from donors who have recovered from COVID-19. McCaffery visits the center at Madigan Army Medical Center on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 on Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Washington, to see the process for collecting the plasma as the Department of Defense promotes an initiative to collect 10,000 units by the end of September to transfuse into current COVID patients to boost the ability of their immune systems to fight the virus.
