Syneos Health Supports ACRO Statement on COVID-19 Vaccines
The Association of Clinical Research Organizations (ACRO) represents clinical research and technology companies that provide a variety of specialized tools and services to support the development of new pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. We are proud of the role our member companies have played in the development of COVID vaccines, which have been supported by overwhelmingly positive and reliable data. Going forward, an increasing number of governments, healthcare systems, research sites and sponsors are requiring vaccination for the protection of clinical trial participants, medical and healthcare staff, and others. In keeping with our industry’s ongoing commitment to public health and patient safety, ACRO supports our member companies as they strongly recommend that their employees be fully vaccinated as quickly as possible, based on vaccine availability at the country and local level.

COVID-19 Special Initiative: Ventilator Initiative Task Force
A critical shortage of mechanical ventilators is anticipated in many countries, including the United States, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent FDA guidance provides for the use existing hospital BiPAP (bi-level positive airway pressure) machines on an emergency basis to spare mechanical ventilation if necessary. Syneos Health has launched the Ventilator Initiative Task Force as a platform for mobilizing awareness and action, and to support healthcare professionals with education, training and research.
