As physicians, we've all learned in detail about the science behind vaccinations, but I suspect few of us have been taught about the history of vaccinations. Sure, we all know that Dr. Jonas Salk developed the poliovirus vaccine, but I wasn't aware that he inoculated himself, his wife, and his three children with his then experimental vaccine. When our editorial committee decided to focus on vaccinations as our theme for this month's Greene County Medical Society's Journal, I perused the internet for interesting topics. I came across a fascinating website, historyofvaccines.org; this website is a project of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, touted as being the oldest professional medical organization in the United States. I credit the majority of the information in this article to the above website and the rest to the National Institutes of Health (nih.gov) website; I trust that the information is valid and true, based on the agencies behind these websites. Below are some interesting tidbits about vaccine preventable diseases that I found noteworthy to pass on to our readers.
作为医生，我们都详细学习过疫苗背后的科学知识，但我怀疑我们中很少有人学过疫苗接种的历史。当然，我们都知道乔纳斯·索尔克博士研发了脊髓灰质炎疫苗，但我不知道他曾用自己当时还在试验阶段的疫苗给自己、妻子和三个孩子接种。当我们的编辑委员会决定将疫苗接种作为本月格林县医学协会期刊的主题时，我在网上搜索有趣的话题。我偶然发现了一个很棒的网站，historyofvaccines.org；这个网站是费城医师学院的一个项目，被誉为美国最古老的专业医学组织。本文中的大部分信息都归功于上述网站，其余信息来自美国国立卫生研究院（nih.gov）网站；基于这些网站背后的机构，我相信这些信息是有效且真实的。以下是一些关于疫苗可预防疾病的有趣趣闻，我觉得值得分享给我们的读者。
