We used this study as an example to demonstrate that medical personnel would be willing to pay substantial monetary amounts to avert the risk of nosocomial SARS infection. However, we found that the median amount medical personnel in the ED would be willing to pay for a SARS vaccine was US $1,762, which was exceedingly high compared to the usual cost of a vaccine and equal to 14% of the 2002 Taiwan gross domestic product per capita (US $12,588).	./cache/cord-275552-ijxxeo27.txt	./txt/cord-275552-ijxxeo27.txt
