Caption:
This image was captured in 2011, by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Communication Specialist, Alan Janssen, MSPH, during his tour of India, whereupon, he reviewed the communications elements of the polio eradication program in that region. In the center of this view, you see a woman referred to as a social mobilizer, who was meandering through town, while conducting the polio review process, as a group of curious children had approached to ask her many questions. January 13, 2014 marked 3-years, since a child was paralyzed by wild poliovirus in India. The country was once considered the most complex challenge to achieving global polio eradication. On March 27, 2014, the country of India, along with the other 10-countries in the WHO South East Asia Region, was certified polio-free. 80% of the world’s people now live in polio-free areas.
