O+ is common, but it is also one of the most in-demand.

O- is the holy grail.

O- can go into anybody, O+ can go into 80% of the population. In a pinch. It's better to match blood types exactly if possible. Which is tricky if the patient is AB+/-, those are rare blood types and always in strong demand.
