ALL VALLEY FEVER
VACCINE SUPPORTERS
Welcome to
www.valleyfever.com. The focus of the Valley Fever Americas
Foundation and the Valley Fever Vaccine Project of the Americas (A Rotary
District 5240 project) is funding the development of a vaccine to prevent
coccidioidomycosis, also known as “cocci” or Valley Fever. You can use the
links at left to move about the website.
At this website you will find information about the
disease which has been reviewed by physicians considered expert in the
field. Don’t miss the “Valley Fever Primer” written by Drs Hans Einstein
and Richard Deaner (see link at left) which is available in English and
Spanish. You will also find materials to download that you are welcome to
distribute to others to help increase awareness and understanding of the
disease. Our one page flyer and the bookmarks listing common symptoms are
available in English, Spanish, Tagalog and Punjabi.
Please send us your comments and questions regarding
what we are doing and how you can help. Inquiries of a medical nature
will be forwarded to a physician who has volunteered to assist the
project.
Current projects that you can help with include:
