STUDIES ON THE USE OF LIVE ADENOVIRUS VACCINES IN NAVAL RECRUITS

Abstract

Studies were carried out comparing the effect of live oral monovalent adenovirus Type 4 (LAV) in enteric-coated capsules with inactivated vaccines (IAV) on the prevention of such diseases. All of the vaccines were effective in reducing Acute Respiratory Disease hospitalization by the 11th day after vaccination. All were about equally effective in reducing these admissions by 50%. The determination of the exact specific protective effect afforded by these vaccines was confounded by the presence of other etiological agents in the population, including influenza A2. None of the vaccines had any appreciable affect on Acute Respiratory Disease that did not require hospitalization.
