Caption:
This image depicts a young African-American girl receiving a scheduled childhood immunization in her right upper arm using a Ped-O-JetĀ® jet injector, which is being operated by a nurse. The child is visibly crying. This scene took place in 1977 at a DeKalb County, Georgia, well-baby immunization clinic. Well-baby clinics are public health, tax-supported medical facilities that support childhood and family health needs, often at reduced cost to patients. They are widely recognized for providing routine immunizations against diseases such as diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella.
