France needs you.
While the planet, plunged into the Covid-19 pandemic, is suspended from the advances of researchers around the world who are working to develop effective anti-Covid vaccines, Inserm is launching an appeal to recruit 25,000 adults, young and old.
The objective of this large-scale operation: to test potential vaccines against the coronavirus.
The “Covireivac” information and registration platform was launched on October 1 for them.
Volunteers, who must be 18 years or older, are invited to complete a health questionnaire on the covireivac.fr website, which will then allow researchers to select them according to the needs of the planned trials.
Little represented or absent from vaccine trials, people 65 years of age or over, the main victims of the disease, and those who have risk factors (diabetes, obesity, pulmonary diseases, arterial hypertension, renal failure), are called upon to participate.
"In the coming weeks and months, we will be soliciting registrants," said Dr Odile Launay, infectious disease specialist at Cochin hospital in Paris (AP-HP) and Covireivac coordinator during an online conference.
