Vaccines

Today, May 18th, is National HIV Vaccine Awareness Day.

Vaccines are of special importance right now. They are at the forefront of our efforts to cure COVID-19. Typically vaccines take years to develop, but scientists all over the world are working around the clock to speed up the process and find a cure. Once a vaccine is developed and distributed, we can return to our familiar daily life!

About National HIV Vaccine Awareness Day:

May 18th annually recognizes thousands of volunteers, community members, health professionals, and scientists who work together to find a safe and effective HIV vaccine.

The day also promotes continued awareness and education concerning HIV vaccine research. Over 30 years have passed since HIV was identified as the cause of AIDS. However, researchers continue in their mission to develop a vaccine. While treatments and preventative measures exist to help those impacted by HIV and AIDS, a viable vaccine is still the only means to prevent its spread.
