In this introductory article, we describe the rationale for the Enterics for Global Health (EFGH) surveillance study, which is largely to optimize the design and implementation of pivotal vaccine trials in the target population of infants and young children living in low- and middle-income countries. Such optimization will ideally lead to a shorter time to vaccine availability in the target population. We also provide a brief description of the articles included in the supplement.
在这篇介绍性文章中，我们描述了全球健康肠道病原体（EFGH）监测研究的基本原理，该研究主要是为了优化在低收入和中等收入国家婴幼儿目标人群中进行的关键疫苗试验的设计与实施。这种优化理想情况下将缩短目标人群获得疫苗的时间。我们还简要介绍了该增刊中包含的文章。
