We are working very hard to obtain federal funding for valley fever vaccine research and development. Your mention of the specialist brought to the area who spent the next year in the hospital due to Valley Fever would tell me that you are one who understands the personal and community costs of this disease. The state of California has contributed over $7 million to this project already. IT is time for the feds and the state of Arizona to kick in! I haven't tracked back to see where you are writing from, but anything you can do to help educate, persuade, and motivate our national and your state representatives would be appreciated. The need is described in our January 2008 newsletter posted at our website, www.valleyfever.com.
