*The adenovirus vaccine program was reintroduced in November 2011 and rate changes were studied through 2014. ARD, acute respiratory disease.
†ARD rate = (ARD cases/all trainees) × 100 trainee weeks. % change calculated from last full year before vaccination (i.e., 2010).
1Preliminary results from this study were presented at the IDWeek 2014 meeting, October 8–12, 2014; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
