Congenital CMV Awareness Month

Janelle Greenlee
Dear Friend,

June is National Congenital CMV Awareness Month. 1 in every 150 children is born with congenital CMV, causing deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, mental and physical disabilities, seizures, and death. The statistics are staggering and it is time to bring the message of CMV prevention to women.

Only 14% of women are aware of congenital CMV (cytomegalovirus). 60% of women are at risk for contracting CMV during pregnancy, posing a major risk to mothers, daycare workers, preschool teachers, therapists, and nurses.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, learn how you can prevent congenital CMV:

  • Wash your hands after handling babies or small children
  • Don't share food or drinks with babies or small children
  • Don't kiss babies or small children on the mouth

Join Stop CMV as we work to increase the public profile of CMV to save thousands of children from disabilities and death. We hope these tools will help to educate those around you and inspire your efforts to Stop CMV.


Many thanks,


Founder, Stop CMV - The CMV Action Network
