Caption:

Every month, villages in Indonesia hold a community based clinic, called a Posyandu, to provide preventative health services to young children, which was depicted in this 2017 image. Among other activities, nurses and community volunteers monitor growth of children in the village, and provide vaccinations and nutritional supplements at these events. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its partners, leveraged the existing infrastructure of these Posyandus, in order to evaluate S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and H. influenzae colonization rates, among healthy children in the community.
