Once declared transmission free in the United States less than 20 years ago, measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases have made a spectacular comeback. Waning public support for childhood immunization and subsequent recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases have been spawned by several technological and social factors, including the erosion of the provider-patient relationship, the emergence of internet-based patient resources and social media sites, and the rise of online healthcare activism. New tools are needed for physicians and healthcare providers to reverse this trend and regain our role as our patients' best advocates.
不到 20 年前,美国宣布麻疹等疫苗可预防疾病已得到传播控制,但如今这些疾病却又卷土重来。公众对儿童免疫接种的支持度下降,以及最近疫苗可预防疾病的爆发,是由包括医患关系恶化、基于互联网的患者资源和社交媒体的出现以及在线医疗保健活动的兴起等几个技术和社会因素所导致的。医生和医疗保健提供者需要新的工具来扭转这一趋势,重新成为患者的最佳代言人。
