Caption:

This image was created in August 2014, by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Heath Scientist, and Special Assistant to the Director, Nancy S. Andrade, MPA, who captured the photograph while in Equatorial Guinea, during a polio vaccination campaign. This was a group of children, who had received their vaccination, and were displaying their left pinky finger for the camera, verifying that they had been vaccinated. It was also a sign to the community, that these children were taking care of their health, and taking part in a national initiative. This was one of the entries in the 2015 CDC Connects, Public Health in Action Photo Contest.
