The risk of HBV infection among HCWs is well documented. With widespread use of hepatitis B vaccine, the risk of infection can largely be eliminated. Although some older physicians still have not received the vaccine, increased use by younger physicians and by HCWs in general in response to OSHA regulations is very encouraging. The risk of HCV infection among HCWs is not well defined. Although based on available data, this risk appears to be low, the risk of chronic liver disease with HCV infection is high, and effective measures that prevent transmission and infection are needed.
医护人员感染乙肝病毒（HBV）的风险已有充分记录。随着乙肝疫苗的广泛使用，感染风险在很大程度上可以消除。虽然一些年长的医生仍未接种疫苗，但年轻医生以及医护人员总体上因应职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的规定而增加疫苗接种，这非常令人鼓舞。医护人员感染丙肝病毒（HCV）的风险尚不明确。虽然根据现有数据，这种风险似乎较低，但丙肝病毒感染导致慢性肝病的风险很高，因此需要采取有效的预防传播和感染的措施。
