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.
