Caption:
Depicted in this 2000 photograph, were Indian health care workers in the country’s Deoria District, as they were receiving training about the protocols associated with the STOP Transmission of Polio (STOP) immunization initiative. Since the program’s inception in the fall of 1998, the STOP Teams have worked in over 50 countries. In the first years of the program, most STOP team members worked primarily to bolster acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, support National Immunization Days (NIDs), and conduct polio case investigation and follow-up. STOP team members are recruited and trained primarily by CDC, however, once on assignment, they are under the supervision of either WHO, or UNICEF. This photograph was captured by Chris Zahniser, BSN, RN, MPH, a team member and photographer, who was assigned to the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India, and spent three months working in the Districts of Gorakhpur and Deoria.
