Australian researchers have set up a novel multi-centre trial to investigate the effects of the pneumococcal vaccination in reducing heart attacks and stroke. People aged 55 to 61 from 6 sites around Australia will be invited to participate in the study. The selected participants will attend a clinic in their area and will be randomly given the pneumococcal vaccine or a placebo vaccine. Outcomes on the expected 6000 participants will be ascertained by health record linkage with government databases after 4 years.

澳大利亚研究人员建立了一项新的多中心试验，以调查肺炎球菌疫苗接种在减少心脏病发作和中风方面的作用。来自澳大利亚6个地点的55至61岁的人将被邀请参加这项研究。被选中的参与者将在他们所在地区的诊所接受随机接种肺炎球菌疫苗或安慰剂疫苗。预期6000名参与者的结果将在4年后通过与政府数据库的健康记录连接来确定。
