ADENOVIRUS TYPE 4 ILLNESS IN PREVIOUSLY VACCINATED RECRUITS AND THE RESPONSE TO REVACCINATION VIA THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT: A PRELIMINARY REPORT

Abstract

Acute respiratory disease associated with adenovirus type 4 occurred in recruits vaccinated with low titered living adenovirus type 4 vaccine (LAV). Only 29% of the vaccinees had neutralizing antibodies two months post vaccination. Upon revaccination with higher titered LAV, there was an 86% response in men vaccinated for the first time but only a 47% response in men who were revaccinated.
