The Role of BCG in Vaccination Programs
The World Health Organization recommends as a blanket statement for all countries with vaccination programs that they include BCG, which is the tuberculosis vaccine. Some countries only give it to certain certain subsets of their population if they have if those children happen to be at high risk or something like that. We actually also vaccinate against nice area meningitis in the US, which is a truly horrible illness that causes meningitis.
