Fairfax Board of Supervisors Presents NatCapLyme with Proclamation Declaring May 2024 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month

May 21, 2024

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has once again proclaimed May as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in the county of Fairfax.

The National Capital Disease Association is grateful to Supervisor Pat Herrity and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for its continued commitment to raise awareness and prevention of tick-borne diseases.  For the past 14 years, Supervisor Herrity has been a leading partner to NatCapLyme and the public-at-large in its effort to bring awareness of Lyme and tick-borne diseases to Fairfax County. Laura Granato, Almas Eftekhari, Jake Broughton and Melissa Lubin joined NatCapLyme Executive Director Monte Skall to accept the proclamation.

This proclamation is of great benefit to the citizens of Fairfax County.  It creates official recognition of the problem, encourages Virginians to learn and take seriously tick-borne diseases, to take aggressive prevention measures and to seek early treatment.

NatCapLyme salutes Supervisor Herrity and the board for their continued concern and unwavering dedication to this cause.
