为应对2006-2007年的蓝舌病疫情，德国于2008年在全国范围内开展了强制性疫苗接种运动。到2009年，新暴发的数量有所减少，因此在2010年开始自愿接种疫苗。我们在德国三个联邦州，即北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚、莱茵兰-帕拉特纳和萨克森-安哈尔特的牛羊养殖场进行了问卷调查，以估计2010年的疫苗接种量、2011年的接种意向以及拒绝或接受接种的主要决定因素。结果表明，2010年有42.8%(40.6-45.1)的养牛户和33.8%(31.8-35.8)的养羊户表示有接种疫苗；2011年有40.7%(38.5-43.0)的养牛户和37.93%(35.8-40.1)的养羊户表示愿意接种。提到的动物接种BTV-8疫苗的主要原因是出口动物的能力、防止生产损失、补贴疫苗接种和兽医的推荐。拒绝接种疫苗的动机是假定感染风险低、费用、没有临床Bt症状、假定成本效益比为负、以及以前接种疫苗事件的负面经历(副作用)。我们认为，为了增加农民为他们的动物接种BTV-8疫苗的动机，(1)疫苗接种需要得到补贴，(2)应该提供几种不同Bt血清型甚至其他疾病的联合疫苗，(3)农民需要更好地了解疫苗接种的安全性和益处。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
In response to the Bluetongue disease epidemic in 2006-2007, Germany started in 2008 a country-wide mandatory vaccination campaign. By 2009 the number of new outbreaks had decreased so that vaccination became voluntary in 2010. We conducted a questionnaire survey in cattle and sheep farms in three German federal states, namely North-Rhine Westphalia, Rhineland Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt to estimate the vaccination uptake in 2010, the intention to vaccinate in 2011 and the main determinants of refusal or acceptance to do so. The results showed that 42.8% (40.6-45.1) of the cattle farmers and 33.8% (31.8-35.8) of the sheep farmers had their animals vaccinated in 2010, whereas 40.7% (38.5-43.0) of cattle and 37.93% (35.8-40.1) sheep farmers expressed their intention to vaccinate in 2011. The main reasons mentioned for having animals vaccinated against BTV-8 were ability to export animals, prevention of production losses, subsidized vaccination, and recommendation by the veterinarian. Motives for refusing vaccination were presumed low risk of infection, costs, absence of clinical BT symptoms, presumed negative cost-benefit ratio, and negative experience with previous vaccination events (side effects). We assume that in order to increase farmers' motivation to have their animals immunized against BTV-8, (1) the vaccination needs to be subsidized, (2) combined vaccines with several different BT serotypes or even other diseases should be available and (3) farmers need to be better informed about the safety and benefit of vaccination.
