About this Gallery

The immunization day pictured here was part of a two-week national polio and measles campaign, which ran from February 14 to 28, 2010 and targeted about 20 million children under five. In order to ensure widespread participation, community health promoters made loudspeaker announcements and door-to-door visits in the week prior to the campaign. The messages advised families about the importance of immunization. Bangladesh Red Crescent Society
