Description:
This image depicted a number of Indian health care practitioners setting up their booth on a country-wide National Immunization Day (NID), from which they distributed informative leaflets, as well as administered polio vaccinations. Thousands of children throughout the country receive a polio vaccine on each NID. Since its inception in the fall of 1998, the STOP Transmission of Polio (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.The image was provided by Chris Zahniser, B.S.N., R.N., M.P.H., a STOP Transmission of Polio (STOP) immunization initiative team member and photographer. Ms. Zahniser was at the time assigned to the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India, and spent three months working in the Districts of Gorakhpur and Deoria.
