Stock photos are known for being outdated, unrealistic and laughably terrible. Vaccination stock photos are no exception. With vaccination being a hot topic in the media recently, this company decided to make some vaccination stock photos that represent a side of vaccinations that we may not have seen before, especially when it comes to stock photos. Traditionally, vaccination stock photos depict a white child crying as a white male doctor comes at them with a ridiculously large needle. But just as your office job doesn't look like stock photos make them out to be, getting a vaccine (in my experience, at least) has been quite different to the stock photo equivalent. And it's time that this is reflected.
These new stock photos are refreshingly modern, showing people of all ages, genders, colors and religions getting vaccinations from female doctors (because they exist now too). The patients are wildly diverse people with one thing in common: they appear to enjoy getting vaccinations. Or at least, they aren't horrified by it. In an age of instant information, strong beliefs and fake news, it's important to be aware of the different sides of the argument, and that's exactly what these stock photos do: they depict a group of people who believe in getting vaccinations. Whether or not to vax is your own decision, but before making that decision, consider all the possibilities. We chose the best of these new stock photos for you, but all of them are available to download for free on Flickr. Enjoy.
