【Vaccines 疫苗】
【译文】疫苗每年挽救数百万人的生命,是有史以来最具成本效益的健康干预措施之一。免疫接种消灭了天花,过去十年儿童麻疹的死亡率降低了74%,并且几乎消灭了脊髓灰质炎。全球免疫覆盖率从未如此之高。每年有1亿多儿童接种结核病、脊髓灰质炎、麻疹、白喉、破伤风、百日咳、乙型肝炎、B型流感嗜血杆菌,以及某些国家的黄热病。这些疫苗每年可挽救250万人的生命。
【原文】Vaccines save millions of lives each year and are among the most cost-effective health interventions ever developed. Immunization has led to the eradication of smallpox, a 74 percent reduction in childhood deaths from measles over the past decade, and the near-eradication of polio. Global immunization coverage has never been higher. More than 100 million children are immunized each year against tuberculosis, polio, measles, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and, in some countries, yellow fever. These vaccines save an estimated 2.5 million lives each year. |
