    Document: Fouchier states that vaccination of laboratory workers in his laboratory reduces the risk of infection for such workers and that heightened surveillance of such workers and provision of antiviral drugs in case of an exposure will reduce their risk further. The benefits of vaccination and antivirals in preventing infection are overstated for several reasons. (i) Vaccination of workers and heightened surveillance and treatment can be effective if the accidental exposure involves a member of that laboratory, but not necessarily if it involves personnel from other laboratories, as in the three CDC incidents (11, 12) . Probability calculations must separate exposures in the source laboratory from exposures in other laboratories.
