12 嶺南大學和富李宗德諮詢及輔導心理學研究中心陳靜雯教授指出：「在社會及流行文化中流傳著多 種關於疫苗接種的誤解。相比起對恢復正常生活的期望，對害怕感染而接種疫苗不單只是動機的不 同，而且在生理上亦可能產生不同的效果。有關免疫的行為醫學研究表明，壓力會直接影響疫苗接 種後的抗體產生數量，從而大大降低其有效性。雖然數據顯示香港人目前面臨多重壓力，但政策制 定者除了關注的一般的疫苗接種情況外，還可以考慮到疫苗接種期間的社會、經濟和政治環境，以 加強疫苗的有效性。」 Professor Meanne Chan, Associate professor (Research) of WoFoo Joseph Lee Consulting and Counselling Psychology Research Centre in Lingnan University, observed, “Multiple misconceptions about vaccination circulates in popular culture and society. Getting vaccinated because of fear of contagion compared to a general inclination to return to normality are not only different social drivers, but could also have different biological consequences. Studies in behavioral medicine about immunity have demonstrated that stress could directly impact antibody production after a vaccine, greatly reducing the effectiveness. While figures have indicated that the Hong Kong people are currently under multiple sources of stress, policy makers can consider the social, economical, and political environment during vaccination to optimize vaccine efficacy, in addition to the usual concern of vaccine uptake.” In vitro IL-2 Responses to Fluzone Vaccine (Chronic stress vs Control)
