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. Pictured here, was a polio eradication team member standing in a headquarters office located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, pointing to a map of India. From these headquarters, the eradication team efforts could be coordinated, progress evaluated, and team member notations discussed. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease. There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines. Therefore, the strategy to eradicate polio is based on preventing infection, by immunizing every child to stop transmission and ultimately make the world polio free.
