摘要
第六章认为,到1936年底,爱尔兰自由邦已接近开始实施一项全国性的抗白喉免疫计划。这是一项值得注意的成就,因为直到1938年,国家支持的抗白喉计划才在欧洲其他地区作为对这一紧迫公共卫生问题的干预措施引入,直到1940年以后,当战争条件加剧了这一问题时,才大力推行。如果不受阻碍地进行,自由邦的干预似乎注定要消灭白喉,并成为欧洲第一个确立的国家儿童免疫方案。然而,1937年4月Siobhán O 'Cionnfaola的死亡,以及随后围绕Ring事件的争议,对主动免疫提出了严重的质疑,并最终破坏了家长、从业者和政治家对疫苗的信心。本章将评估Ring争议的影响以及事件发生后留下的社会、政治和医学影响。
O’Cionnfaola v. the Wellcome Foundation and Daniel McCarthy
Chapter six argues that by the end of 1936, the Irish Free State had come close to incepting an operational national anti-diphtheria immunization scheme. This is a noteworthy achievement, as state-backed anti-diphtheria schemes were not introduced as an intervention against this pressing public health issue in the rest of Europe until 1938 and were only pursued with any vigour when wartime conditions exacerbated the problem from 1940 onwards. If it had progressed unimpeded, the Free State intervention seemed destined to eliminate diphtheria, and to become the first established national childhood immunization programme in Europe. However, the death of Siobhán O’Cionnfaola in April 1937, and the subsequent controversy surrounding the Ring incident, asked serious questions of active immunization and ultimately undermined vaccine confidence among parents, practitioners, and politicians. This chapter will evaluate the impact of the Ring controversy and the social, political and medical implications left in the wake of the incident.
