Which is a major problem with this technique. One of the other vaccines (J&J?) used a relatively harmless human virus and as I recall, some people with previous exposure had no effect from the vaccine.

Likewise, it would seem that after one vaccine using a given vector, completely unrelated vaccines using the same vector would be ineffective? So presumably they would eventually run out of all the accessible vectors.
