Ways to Give
Many infectious diseases—such as flu, COVID-19, measles, pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and meningitis can affect anyone and can be life-threatening. But, they are also preventable and require education about prevention and treatment options. With your support, together we can raise awareness, improve prevention efforts, and save lives. There are many ways to give.
