Blood drive on campus on February 3

The French Blood Service (EFS) will be running a blood drive on Thursday February 3, from 12 noon to 5pm, in the CIS hall (building 15, floor -1).

The need for blood products is as great as ever, and ongoing efforts are vital.

You can give blood at any time before or after receiving your COVID-19 vaccine.

•    If you have tested positive for COVID-19 with symptoms, you must wait for 14 days after the end of these symptoms before giving blood.
•    If you are a contact or have tested positive but are asymptomatic, you still need to wait for 14 days before giving blood.

Together, let's continue to save lives: there is a daily need for 10,000 blood donations for emergency relief and surgery, and to treat hemorrhage during childbirth, blood disorders, cancer and other conditions. Giving blood is an irreplaceable voluntary and generous act, and today there is an urgent need for donations. The blood you give is used to treat people in need. Donating blood is a simple, quick and selfless act of kindness.

Make sure you check your eligibility with the online self-assessment ("je m'auto-évalue avant de donner").

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

Thank you in advance for your generous donation, and a special thank you to the 57 donors (including 8 first-time donors) who gave blood in November.
