It's a requirement at Red Cross but it's just a recommendation at Vitalent- anyone can do anything but they have "ideal" donation types for each blood type.

I stand corrected.

You have to be O+, O-, A-, or B- to do power red https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/types-of-blood-donations/power-red-donation.html

Or, put a different way, you can't be A+, B+, AB+ or AB-. I'm O+ and have done power red.

Yeah I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction.
