摘要
The simplistic conventional model of immunisation is no longer valid: we cannot assume that a vaccine acts independently from other vaccines or that it influences only infections caused by its target disease.For example, there is now evidence that measles vaccine reduces mortality from infections other than measles and that Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine reduces mortality from infections other than tuberculosis.
