chủng ngừa

[t͡ɕʊwŋ͡m˧˩ ŋɨə˨˩]

[t͡ɕʊwŋ͡m˧˨ ŋɨə˦˩]

[cʊwŋ͡m˨˩˦ ŋɨə˨˩]

Phương-pháp hữu hiệu nhất là chủng ngừa. Ở những nơi có bệnh thường xuyên người ta nhận thấy phải chủng ngừa tới 80% dân chúng trong vùng trong khoảng 5 năm mới mong tận diệt hết bệnh trong vùng (Davey và Lightbody. 1965).

1972, Nguyễn Đức Hiệp, Bệnh truyền nhiễm miền nhiệt đới, Trung-Tâm Học Liệu, page 161:

The most effective method is inoculation. In areas with regular disease outbreaks, it is observed that up to 80% of the population in the area must be inoculated in about 5 years' time to eradicate the disease in that area (Davey and Lighbody, 1965).

Nói gọn hơn, chủng ngừa là nhằm phòng ngừa một bệnh nào đó bằng cách tạo nên sự miễn dịch cho trẻ từ khi mới sinh ra, tức là từ khi trẻ có thể bị nhiễm bệnh.

2012, Nguyễn Hữu Đức, Khi cho trẻ dùng thuốc, NXB Trẻ:

More succinctly, inoculating aims to prevent a certain disease by having the child build immunity from the moment of its birth, meaning from the moment it could be infected.

Khoảng 43.000 người đã được chủng ngừa và không có lo ngại về an toàn nào được nêu ra.

2020 October 11, James Gallagher, “Virus corona: Cuối cùng chúng ta đã có thuốc chủng ngừa Covid?”, in BBC Vietnamese:

About 43,000 people have been inoculated and no safety concerns have been raised.

vi-etym-sino

Trên tấm bia Tiến sĩ đầu tiên dựng tại Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám ghi lại lịch sử khoa thi năm 1442 có khắc ghi những dòng chữ:“...Hiền tài là nguyên khí của quốc gia, nguyên khí thịnh thì thế nước mạnh mà hưng thịnh, nguyên khí suy thì thế nước yếu mà thấp hèn. Vì thế các bậc đế vương thánh minh không đời nào không coi việc giáo dục nhân tài, kén chọn kẻ sĩ, vun trồng nguyên khí quốc gia làm công việc cần thiết...”. Người soạn ra những câu nổi tiếng đó là Tiến sĩ triều Lê, Thân Nhân Trung.

2018, T.K, “Tác giả câu nói nổi tiếng 'hiền tài là nguyên khí quốc gia'”, in Điện Biên Phủ Online, archived from the original on 2024-08-30:

On the first Doctorate stele erected at the Temple of Literature, recording the history of the 1442 examination, the following lines are engraved: "… Talented men are the life force of a nation. Should its life force wax, the nation prospers; should its life force wane, it crumbles. It follows that bright, sensible monarchs and rulers and sages of all kinds alike, no one, under no circumstances, would trifle with the monumentally vital task of educating the talented, sifting out the learned, cultivating the nation's life force. …" Those famous lines were authored by Thân Nhân Trung, a doctor from the Lê dynasty.

Trong sách Hải thượng y tông tâm lĩnh (tập 1) cho biết, nguyên Khí [sic] cũng là năng lượng để em bé khởi phát được việc ăn uống, hít thở sau khi chào đời. Nguyên Khí [sic] đầy đủ thì em bé ăn uống hấp thu tốt, hít thở nhẹ nhàng, phát triển bình thường. Nguyên Khí [sic] yếu kém thì cả việc ăn uống hay hít thở đều không đủ để nuôi dưỡng cơ thể.

2020 December 23, “Tìm về nguyên khí - Cội nguồn sức khỏe [Back to Life Force, the Ultimate Source of Wellness]”, in Dân Trí:

In Hải Thượng's Medical Creed (volume 1), it is said that life force is the energy that helps your baby perform ingestion and respiration after they come out of the womb. If they maintain a healthy amount of life force, they can ingest well, respire well, develop naturally. If their life force is somehow inadequate, they cannot perform the most basic bodily functions such as ingestion and respiration to sustain their own life.

(traditional Chinese medicine) vital energy, life force
