So, that's another example of the difference between a vaccine that works, and a vaccination that works, right?
所以,这个例子讲的是研发疫苗和,研究疫苗接种的不同之处,对吗
And that person who really studied it systematically, and is given credit for developing the first vaccine, is a Scottish physician named Edward Jenner.
而那个系统研究疫苗,并被誉为发明了第一支疫苗的人,叫爱德华?詹纳,是苏格兰的一名医生
You want to give it to people in different communities, to make sure that it works in all the subpopulations where the vaccine's potentially valuable.
研究者希望将疫苗分接种于不同人群,以确保疫苗适用于所有人,这样才能体现疫苗的价值
Then, they did preliminary studies of safety and effectiveness in people.
接着,研究人员对疫苗在人体中的,安全性和有效性进行初步研究
They had to give some of them the real vaccine and some of them a placebo vaccine in order that they could really tell if the vaccine worked; you have to have it placebo controlled.
研究者们还须给部分孩子接种真正的疫苗,给另外一些孩子接种空白疫苗,以分辨疫苗是否真的有效,所以你必须使用安慰剂作对照
Now, if I was a person that was designing a vaccine and I noticed that this was the response that it got, that antibodies were produced, they reached some intermediate level, they started to fall, I would say, "Well I haven't stimulated the immune system enough, let me re-boost, let me give another dose of antigen."
现在,如果我正在研究一种疫苗,我注意到机体会对这种疫苗产生应答,也就是会产生抗体,当抗体浓度达到中等水平后,就开始下降,就可以说,疫苗对免疫系统刺激还不足,我需要提高抗原浓度,让我再把剂量再加大一倍
