Description:
This 2000 photograph depicted STOP Transmission of Polio (STOP) team member Christine Zahniser, B.S.N., R.N., M.P.H., as she was administering an oral polio vaccine to a child under 5 years of age, during a National Immunization Day (NID) in India. Thousands of children throughout the country receive a polio vaccine on each NID. Since its inception in the fall of 1998, the STOP immunization initiative teams have worked in over 50 countries. In the first years of the program, most STOP team members worked primarily to bolster acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, support 'national immunization' days, and conduct polio case investigation and follow-up.
