The history of vaccinology is one in which biomedical and technological advances usher in the “next generation” of vaccines. In the 1950’s, a breakthrough that enabled viruses to grow in tissue cultures led to the development of both live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines for measles, polio, and other diseases.
疫苗学的历史是一部生物化学和技术进步带来“下一代”疫苗的历史。20世纪50年代，能让病毒在培养基中生长的突破带来了麻疹、脊髓灰质炎和其他疾病的减毒活疫苗和灭活疫苗的发展。20世纪80年代，DNA重组技术带来了乙肝和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的发展。
