The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) engages in advocacy issues that impact individuals with compromised immune systems which includes the primary immunodeficiency disease (PI) community. Efforts include educating legislators and other decision makers on the impact that policies related to antibiotic resistance and vaccine use have on the PI community. IDF is able to advocate on issues and share the unique perspective of the PI community regarding these important public health initiatives.
The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), founded in 1980, is the national non-profit patient organization dedicated to improving the diagnosis, treatment and quality of life of persons with PI through advocacy, education, and research. There are approximately 250,000 people who are diagnosed with PI in the U.S., and thousands more go undetected.
