ER nurse tests positive for COVID-19 a week after getting vaccine
急診護士接種新冠疫苗后一周確診

4.完整新聞內文:
Emergency Room Nurse Matthew W. reported contracting the virus after receivi
ng the first of two COVID-19 vaccination doses.
急診室護士Matthew W.報告說，在接種了兩劑COVID-19疫苗中的第一劑后感染了病毒。


Experts say this is an example of why public health protocols should still b
e followed.
專家說，這是一個例子，說明為什么公共衛生協議仍然應該遵循。

A San Diego nurse who received the Pfizer vaccine during the initial rollout
 was diagnosed with a COVID-19 infection on Dec. 26, despite being vaccinate
d more than a week earlier.
圣地亞哥的一名護士第一次接種輝瑞公司的疫苗后被診斷出感染了新冠病毒，盡管他早
在一周前就接種了疫苗。

ABC 10 News reports that the nurse, identified Matthew W., works as an Emerg
ency Room attendant in two separate Southern California hospitals, and only
noted that after receiving the vaccine, his arm was sore but had no other si
de effects.
美國廣播公司10日的新聞報道說，這位名叫Matthew.W的護士在南加州兩家不同的醫院擔
任急診室護士，在接種疫苗后，他的手臂感到酸痛，但沒有其他副作用。

Then, on Christmas Eve, following a shift in a COVID-19 unit, Matthew became
 ill, with symptoms including chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
之后，在平安夜，在新冠應對小組換班后，Matthew生病了，癥狀包括發冷、肌肉酸痛和
疲勞。

On Dec. 26, he tested positive for COVID-19.
26日，他確診感染了新冠。

While disappointing, this outcome is not unexpected among public health expe
rts, officials say.
官員們說，雖然令人失望，但這一結果在公共衛生專家的眼中并不出人意料。

"It's not unexpected at all. If you work through the numbers, this is exactl
y what we'd expect to happen if someone was exposed," Christian Ramers, an i
nfectious disease specialist with Family Health Centers of San Diego, told r
eporters.
“這一點也不意外。圣地亞哥家庭健康中心的傳染病專家克里斯汀· 拉默斯告訴記者：
“如果你仔細研究一下這些數字，如果有人暴露后被感染的話，不出我們的意料。”。

Ramers also notes it is possible Matthew was infected prior to receiving the
 vaccine, and symptom onset occurred after he was vaccinated.
拉默斯還指出，馬修有可能是在接種疫苗之前被感染的，而癥狀出現在他接種疫苗之后
。

"We know from the vaccine clinical trials that it's going to take about 10 t
o 14 days for you to start to develop protection from the vaccine," he added
.
他補充說：“我們從疫苗臨床試驗中了解到，你需要10到14天的時間才能開始對疫苗產
生保護作用。”。

At that point, Matthew also only received a single dose of the vaccine. The
Pfizer vaccine is composed of two separate vaccines, which are to be given i
ntramuscularly three weeks apart.
當時，馬修也只接種了一劑疫苗。輝瑞公司的疫苗由兩種不同的疫苗組成，每三周肌肉
注射一次。

Documents issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show
 a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine yields an average 88.9 percent efficacy
 rate of preventing an infection. Researchers note that a lack of available
data for outcomes with participants who only received a single dose of the v
accine "cannot support a conclusion on the efficacy of a single dose of the
vaccine" since most participants in clinical trials received both doses.


Ramers says that the efficacy rate after the first dose of the vaccine is li
kely around the 50 percent mark, and the second dose yields a stronger 95 pe
rcent efficacy against the virus.
拉默斯說，第一劑疫苗的有效率可能在50%左右，第二劑疫苗對病毒的有效率更高達95%
。

"You hear health practitioners being very optimistic about it being the begi
nning of the end, but it's going to be a slow roll, weeks to months as we ro
ll out the vaccine," Ramers added.
拉默斯補充說：“你聽到衛生從業者非常樂觀地認為這是疫情結束的開始，但隨著我們
推出疫苗的進度，這將是一個緩慢的過程，持續數周到數月。”。
