Season 5 rewatch; Tara

I’m doing a rewatch of the show since it first aired. I’m on season 5 episode 1 when Debbie tries to kill Sookie and Tara jumps in to save her.

Why do they convince Pam to turn Tara instead of just making her give her, her vampire blood? Wouldn’t that have healed her as well?

Sorry if this has been answered before, new to the sub.
