abstract = {Introduction Recruitment and training is vital to maintaining the size, deployability and effectiveness of armed forces, but was threatened early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports suggested asymptomatic seroconversion driving SARS-CoV-2 transmission in young adults. Potential association between lower vitamin D status and increased infection risk was also highlighted. We aimed to prospectively determine seroconversion and test the hypothesis that this would vary with vitamin D supplementation in representative populations.},
