The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) has led the charge in promoting awareness and education about infectious disease prevention and treatment across the lifespan for more than 50 years. As we reflect on the past year, we extend sincere gratitude to the dedicated partners, donors, and supporters who help make our work possible.
2024 was a year of remarkable achievements, collaborations, and significant milestones, including:
- 7B+ media impressions (from the NFID Annual News Conference)
- 74K+ social media followers
- 1.3M web page views
- 300+ partner organizations
NFID launched a Spanish-language version of the website, extending critical resources to a broader audience. Through collaborations with existing and new partners, NFID tackled critical public health challenges throughout the year, including raising awareness about the importance of protecting at-risk populations from vaccine-preventable diseases, building vaccine confidence and increasing uptake, and empowering individuals with important health information to help them live healthier lives.
Partnerships with professional societies, medical and patient advocacy groups, government agencies, industry, academia, and others interested in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases are critical to our long-standing success. Collaboration is a core value of NFID and is embedded in all of our work, as collective efforts amplify our impact and help drive meaningful change.
If people don’t trust the messenger, they won’t trust the message no matter how well we craft it. At NFID, our focus is on empowering messengers with timely messages that resonate.
