- Newer law has been passed "“Preparatory work regarding The Finnish Medicines Agency (Fimea) regulation on changes in blood donation eligibility is progressing. According to the new regulation, the temporary blood donation deferral period after sex between men would shorten from 12 months to 4 months. We will announce the schedule for the introduction of the new practice at the Blood Service as soon as Fimea has issued the regulation.“
“ Fimea has not yet issued the regulation, but the new deferral periods are currently expected to be introduced during spring 2021. We will announce the schedule for the introduction of the new practice at the Blood Service as soon as the regulation has been issued.”
