<p>By Cmdr. Dennis J. Faix, MC, USN; Anthony Hawksworth, Cmdr. Patrick J. Blair, MSC, USN.<br><br>"Adenovirus infections decreased dramatically at basic training centers between 1971 and 1996 following immunization with a vaccine against two types of adenovirus. However, the disease reemerged when  production of the vaccine ceased and vaccination was discontinued. Since 1996 the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego, has conducted surveillance studies at eight DoD training sites. This surveillance has allowed for an historical record of the prevalence of adenovirus infections and was the reason for re-establishing the vaccine in DoD in 2011."<br></p>
