This historic 1961 photograph depicted polio vaccination campaign activities that were taking place at a Decatur High School, located in Decatur, Georgia, where healthcare providers were handing out doses of oral polio vaccine (OPV) to young children, who were accompanied by their parents. Here, numerous visitors had lined up outside the high school’s auditorium, each awaiting his turn at receiving an OPV dosage.
