You can make your players specify their characters' blood type and use that to your advantage, Because You're the DM!
I actually had a Storyteller do something like that in a Vampire game in college, though our vampires' blood types were what we had in real life. If our characters fed on someone whose blood type wasn't compatible (like with a normal blood transfusion) it wasn't as sustaining and could make us sick if we ingested too much of it. If the blood types matched, however, it was especially nourishing. Being O- myself tended to limit who my vampire could effectively feed upon (basically only O- without any sort of negative consequences).
