Tuberculosis BCG vaccination
BCG vaccine is safe and effective in
protecting against tuberculosis. There
are still many cases of TB in children
in some parts of the country. In these
areas it is now the policy to offer
BCG vaccination to all babies at the
age of 6 weeks.
In all areas schoolchildren of 13
are checked to see if they require BCG.
The vaccination is a small injection
which results in a small sore which may
blister and leave a small scar.
Your health visitor or doctor will
be able to answer your questions.
