An adenovirus vaccine is a vaccine against adenovirus infection.[3] According to American CDC, "There is currently no adenovirus vaccine available to the general public.[4]
It should not be confused with the strategy of using adenovirus as a viral vector to develop vaccines for other pathogens, or as a general gene carrier.[5][6][7]
US military
It was used by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved an adenovirus vaccine manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals under contract to the U.S. Army.[11] This vaccine is essentially the same as the one used from 1971 to 1999. On 24 October 2011, the military services began administering the new adenovirus vaccine to recruits during basic training.[12]
The vaccine is orally administered and consists of live (not attenuated) virus. The tablets are coated, so that the virus passes the stomach and infects the intestines, where the immune response is raised.[13]
