The vaccines are regarded as a major contribution to the retreat of the infectious diseases at the XX th century: they allowed a demographic rise without precedent in the world, even if there is still an important shift between the countries. A watershed is in the years 1950, with the beginning of the production of vaccines on cellular cultures and the first clinical trials concerning millions of people. It marks the beginning of the diversification of the vaccines and their production with an industrial scale, which makes it possible to consider new strategies and give precise contents to the dreams of eradication which had been expressed as of the Pasteurian time.
疫苗被视为20世纪传染病消退的一项重大贡献：它们使全球人口出现了前所未有的增长，即便各国之间仍存在重大差异。1950年是一个分水岭，当时开始在细胞培养物上生产疫苗，并开展了涉及数百万人的首次临床试验。这标志着疫苗及其生产开始向多样化发展，且具备了工业规模，从而有可能考虑新的策略，并为自巴斯德时代以来就已表达的根除梦想赋予确切内涵。
