Description:
Revealed in this 2000 photograph was one of the many rural area roads, which as you can see, is very narrow, and sometimes too narrow to allow for the passage of motorized transport vehicles such as cars and trucks. In order to investigate cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), one had to travel by foot from house to house. Here, in the Deoria District of India, one of the Immunization Officers was on his way to investigate a suspected AFP case. Since its inception in the fall of 1998, the STOP Transmission of Polio (STOP) immunization initiative 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 (NID), 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.
