COVID-19 will reduce our funding of cancer research including childhood cancer research by 50% in 2020 if current trends continue. The lowest investment this century. At risk are more and better treatments and discoveries that will improve and save lives. We need to fund the future today. #AttackingCancer

HPV vaccination works best when given between ages 9 and 12. Vaccination between ages 9 and 12 will prevent more HPV cancers than vaccination at older ages. Children must be vaccinated before they’re exposed to an infection just like tetanus or pneumonia. HPV is so common that most people will catch it at some point in their lives. That’s why all 9- to 12-year-olds need the HPV vaccine. Children and young adults age 13 through 26 who have not been vaccinated, or who haven’t gotten all their doses, should get the vaccine as soon as possible for the most cancer protection. Who can donate $9-$12 to continue the fight against cancer? Donate Now: www.relayforlife.org/vacavilleca
