TI - Influence of military preventive policy for recruit training on COVID-19 seroconversion: the IMPACT-COVID-19 study

AB - 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.
