Caption:
This image was created in October 2014, by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Epidemiologist, Mary Alleman, MPH, PhD, and captured during an outbreak of wild poliovirus in the Central African nation of Cameroon, specifically, at a bus station in Bafoussam, the regional capital of West Region, Cameroon. The photograph depicted two vaccination team members on the right, one wearing a yellow apron, and one a yellow hat, as they were in the process of vaccinating a child, who had just exited an arriving bus. This child would have been missed by the primary vaccination strategy implemented by these campaigns, which involved vaccination teams going door-to-door to vaccinate children at their homes. This was one of the entries in the 2015 CDC Connects, Public Health in Action Photo Contest.
