Blood drive on the Institut Pasteur campus on January 15, 2019

The French Blood Service (EFS) is running a blood drive on Tuesday January 15, from 10am to 3pm, in modules 1 and 2 under the social building.

Blood products have a limited shelf life and there is an ongoing need: 10,000 people have to give blood each day to meet the needs of the EFS. The long-term commitment of everyone is vital and really makes a difference.

Becoming a blood donor is a generous, selfless and community-minded act. Your blood donations help treat a million people every year.

You can give blood if:

• you are between 18 and 70 years of age,

• you weigh at least 50kg.

Anybody can give blood subject to certain conditions that are explained during the prior confidential medical appointment.

Proof of ID is requested for first-time donors. We would recommend that you don't give blood on an empty stomach.

Thank you. We hope to see lots of you there!
