用多糖菌苗免疫对控制脑膜炎球菌疾病提供了一种可能的方法。虽然脑膜炎球菌多糖菌苗与其他疫苗(如狂犬病二倍体细胞疫苗和乙型肝炎疫苗)相比,是比较便宜的,但是,在脑膜炎球菌疾病仍然是主要健康问题的一些非洲贫穷国家里,大量接种脑膜炎球菌菌苗仍然会造成财政上的困难,因此,作者研究用皮内接种法是否可以减少免疫剂量 Immunization with polysaccharide vaccines provides a possible way to control meningococcal disease. Although meningococcal polysaccharide vaccines are cheaper than other vaccines (such as rabies diploid and hepatitis B vaccines), in some poor African countries where meningococcal disease remains a major health problem , Large-scale inoculation of meningococcal vaccine will still cause financial difficulties, therefore, the authors study whether intradermal inoculation method can reduce the immunization dose
