Descriptor eficacia de las vacunas
Entry term(s) efectividad de las vacunas
eficacia vacunal
Scope note: Medición de la reducción del riesgo de enfermedad en las personas vacunadas en comparación con las personas no vacunadas en condiciones ideales, como las de un ensayo clínico. Esta reducción medida de la enfermedad en las condiciones de campo típicas es la efectividad de una vacuna. Por el contrario, la potencia de una vacuna se mide en un ensayo para garantizar la posología y la conservación adecuadas de las vacunas, mientras que la inmunogenicidad de una vacuna mide su capacidad para inducir una respuesta inmunitaria en una persona vacunada en estudios observacionales.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000087507
Scope note: A measurement of disease risk reduction among vaccinated compared to unvaccinated persons under ideal conditions such as in a clinical trial. Such disease reduction measured under typical field conditions is vaccine effectiveness. In contrast vaccine potency is measured in an assay to ensure proper dosing and storage of vaccines whereas vaccine immunogenicity measures its ability to induce an immune response in a vaccinated individual in observational studies.
