Caption:
Created on December 3, 2012, this photograph was captured by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Communication Specialist, Alan Janssen, MSPH, while he was in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh reviewing the methods, and implementation of the region's measles and polio vaccination programs. The mothers depicted here, had brought their young children to this vaccination post, in order to have them vaccinated against vaccine-preventable diseases, including polio, and measles. In this view, you can see a social mobilizer on the left, who had stopped to pose with these women. The job of the social mobilizer, was to get the word out to the general public, as to the benefits of childhood vaccinations, and to allay parental fears towards Western medicine.
