Caption:
Created on December 3, 2012, this photograph was captured by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Communication Specialist, Alan Janssen, MSPH, while he was in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh reviewing the methods, and implementation of the regions measles and polio vaccination programs. Here, we see a man known as a social mobilizer, whose job it was to get the word out to the general public, as to the benefits of childhood vaccinations, and to allay parental fears towards Western medicine. He used the flip-chart he was holding, to show concerned parents statistics, which bolstered his assertions that childhood vaccinations are important, not only to each child individually, but to the community as a whole.
