Caption:
This photograph, which was captured in January 2015, depicted a teacher in a Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School in Sleman, Indonesia, who was holding a child on her lap that had been affected by measles. Note the characteristic maculopapular rash on the child’s face and torso. The Indonesian Field Epidemiology Training Program’s (FETP) measles outbreak investigation, revealed that most teachers, and parents in the community, did not immunize their children, due to the belief that the measles vaccine is unclean, and forbidden. The low rate of the community’s immunization compliance contributed to the rapid spread of the infection.
