Abstract:
This color tinted postcard shows a crowd of people, mostly women, who have brought children for vaccination. The women are wearing long dresses of various colors and many also are wearing straw hats. The children are dressed in white and being held by the women. A man in a dark suit with his back to the camera is sitting on a bench and appears to be vaccinating a child. There is a dark medical bag on the seat next to him. Behind the group are palm and other trees.
