From February to April 2003, we performed an e-mail-based survey to assess responses of physicians at Yale University to being offered smallpox vaccine. Of 58 respondents, 3 (5%) had been or intended to be vaccinated. Reasons cited for declining vaccination included: belief that benefits did not outweigh risks (55%), belief that the vaccination program was unnecessary (18%), desire to wait and see what side effects occurred in vaccinees (11%), and worries about compensation or liability (7%). Most (94%) considered risks to themselves, family, or patients in their decision. Only 3% thought a smallpox attack in the next 5 years was likely or very likely. Physicians did not accept the smallpox vaccine because they did not believe the potential benefits were sufficient.
2003年2月至4月，我们开展了一项基于电子邮件的调查，以评估耶鲁大学医生对接种天花疫苗提议的反应。在58名受访者中，有3人（5%）已经接种或打算接种。拒绝接种的理由包括：认为益处不大于风险（55%）、认为接种计划没有必要（18%）、希望观望接种者出现何种副作用（11%）以及担心补偿或责任问题（7%）。大多数人（94%）在做决定时考虑到了对自己、家人或患者的风险。只有3%的人认为未来5年内很可能或极有可能发生天花袭击。医生们不接受天花疫苗是因为他们认为潜在益处不够充分。
