Yes there is a scarcity of negative blood groups.
My mother was a negative, quite rare blood group, she gave blood from time to time.
I would love to give blood here in Australia, but because I have lived in England between certain years I cannot give blood.
I presume this is because of the outbreak of mad cow's disease in those particular years.
Surely they could screen us for this, as I know I have never had it, maybe the Australian's are just being very cautious, as they are with many things.
I cannot blame them for that.
