A questionnaire was mailed to 1217 dentists whose names appear in the Dentist Register of 1987 in order to assess their awareness and acceptance of hepatitis B vaccine and their pattern of glove usage. Almost all the respondents (99.6%) were aware of the availability of the hepatitis B vaccine yet only 44.8% have received the vaccine. This is in spite of the fact that the majority (61.2%) of the vaccine non-acceptors have no reservations concerning the vaccine. About 71% and 63% of the vaccine-acceptors and non-acceptors respectively believed that the risk of their contracting hepatitis B was high or very high. About 22% of the vaccine non-acceptors never used gloves when treating patients as compared to 9% among vaccine acceptors. Overall, about 78% of the respondents have experienced needleprick injuries in the 3 years preceding the survey.
为评估牙医对乙肝疫苗的知晓度、接受度以及手套使用模式，向1987年牙医登记册中列出的1217名牙医邮寄了一份调查问卷。几乎所有受访者（99.6%）都知晓乙肝疫苗的存在，但只有44.8%的人接种过该疫苗。尽管大多数（61.2%）未接种疫苗者对疫苗并无保留意见。分别约有71%的疫苗接种者和63%的未接种者认为自己感染乙肝的风险很高或非常高。约22%的未接种疫苗者在治疗患者时从不使用手套，而接种疫苗者中这一比例为9%。总体而言，约78%的受访者在调查前3年内曾有过针刺伤经历。
