The biggest blood drive in Puy-de-Dôme canceled in Aubière

This Thursday, November 21, the EFS organized the largest blood donation collection in Puy-de-Dôme. It took place at Cézeaux campussouth of Clermont-Ferrand, at Aubièresince this morning.

But while the blood stocks at EFS are alarming, only around ten people have come to donate blood on campus since 10 a.m.

The EFS was therefore counting on the solidarity and time (approximately 1 hour) of volunteers to come and donate blood.

Collection canceled

Except that due to storm Caetano and the strong winds affecting the department this Thursday, the blood drive is canceled for safety reasons.

“There will be a shortage of a lot of blood bags before the end of year holidays and the arrival of winter. It’s catastrophic”explains the EFS of Puy-de-Dôme.

However, the EFS invites everyone to come and donate blood at mobile blood drives.
