Caption:
This historic image was captured in 1962 in Atlanta, Georgia, during the nation’s Polio Eradication Campaign, and depicted former Epidemic Intelligence Officer (EIS), Donald A. Henderson, MD, MPH, standing alongside a mother and her three children, observing the mother feeding her youngest a sugar cube, to which a dose of oral polio vaccine had been added. The other two children were waiting for their vaccine doses. Dr. Henderson was a member of this mobile polio vaccination unit, and could therefore, move from place to place, making these polio vaccinations more accessible to the local families, and their polio-susceptible children.
