What is the BCG vaccine?

Asked by Female, 29 ยท 18 days ago

The BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Gu?rin) vaccine is a preventive vaccine that protects against tuberculosis, particularly in young children. It is usually given shortly after birth, often within the first few days of life. The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to recognise and fight the tuberculosis bacteria if exposed later.
