我打過流感針了,我對豬流感免疫嗎?
【中文原文】
我打過流感針了,我對豬流感免疫嗎?
不能,目前還沒有豬流感疫苗.有可能季節性的流感疫苗會對H3N2型豬流感病毒提供部分抗體.但在加州出現的是H1N1型毒株.與人類流感H1N1毒株區別很大.先前接種過人型H1N1流感疫苗是否能部分抵禦此次爆發的豬型H1N1病毒,目前不得而知. 然而,CDC已經從一位被感病人身上提取出的豬流感病毒裏開發出一個"疫苗種",並已啓動一旦需要立即開發的程序.是否需要在下一個流感季節到來前批量生產是個大問題.
【參考譯文】
It's possible that the seasonal flu vaccine might provide partial protection against H3N2 swine flu bugs. But the strain that appeared in California is the H1N1 swine flu strain. It is very different from the H1N1 human flu strain included in the seasonal flu vaccine.
It's not known whether previous infection with human type A H1N1 flu might provide partial protection against the type A H1N1 swine flu in the current outbreak.
However, the CDC has made a "vaccine seed" from swine flu isolated from an infected person, and has begun the process of developing a vaccine should the need arise. Whether a vaccine could be produced in quantity by next flu season is a huge question.
