Stock Photo Description:
This late 1960’s photograph shows a child being vaccinated for measles and smallpox in a relief camp outside of a war zone in Nigeria. As seen here, Ped-O-Jet vaccinations guns were used in these vaccinations.The CDC was asked in 1967 to assist the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in disease control and death prevention during the Nigerian-Biafran war. Since smallpox was still prevalent in Nigeria, CDC officials vaccinated the villagers when entering these camps. Under ideal conditions and population control, one gun can vaccinate 1000 people an hour. In addition to smallpox and measles, a pertussis vaccine was also administered after many individuals came down with whooping cough. This image was provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
