Please join us in the fight against VZV infections, for
it is only through your support that we will be able to continue our
efforts
to: educate parents and their childrens' physicians that chickenpox
is a potentially serious illness that can now be prevented; alert
individuals over age 50 of the warning signs of shingles so they
can seek prompt medical treatment if shingles strikes; and foster additional
scientific research into new treatments to alleviate the often debilitating
pain of acute shingles and PHN.
The VZV Research Foundation is a tax-exempt,
publicly supported charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, identification
number 13-3601316. As such, the Foundation must rely on the financial
support of individuals, private philanthropies and corporations
to fulfill
its research and education objectives. Your gift to VZVRF is tax
