The first image shows a child who is happy and some text promoting vaccines. Using this photo will cause the viewer to link a happy child with a vaccinated child, which is promoting vaccines. It will also appeal to the pathos side of the viewers. The second image shows a doctor, parent, and child all happy while the child is receiving the vaccine. This does the same as the first photo: linking happiness and vaccines together. The third image is an image of a dog with tetanus. I can use this to show what a disease can do to someone if they don't receive the vaccine. I would have used a person/child with tetanus, but it was just too disturbing. I may have to overcome that feeling for future pictures.

yes - good point as with the image below too; when an image is too disturbing for the audience, it may either lose its intended meaning or even backfire.
I found the blood on the flag too much to look at, and thus didn't spend anytime trying to figure out what it all meant.
Very nice use of images. Our culture seems to have a fascinating amount of sympathy for kittens and puppies (even seemingly more than for people sometimes); this should work well to evoke emotion from an audience. To back up Mr. Weller, don't have too many disturbing images.
