BCG is a vaccine used to prevent tuberculosis. This vaccine contains a weakened form of TB bacteria and is usually given to newborns. Vaccination with the BCG vaccine can help the body build immunity to tuberculosis bacteria and reduce the risk of contracting tuberculosis. In Hong Kong, BCG is provided free of charge to eligible newborns as part of the vaccination programme. Mild side effects such as local redness, swelling or fever may occur after vaccination, but they are usually temporary. If you have any persistent or serious side effects, seek help from your doctor immediately. BCG is a safe and effective vaccine that plays an important role in preventing tuberculosis. If you have any questions or need further information, please ask your healthcare provider.
Instructions:
BCG vaccine is usually given by subcutaneous injection. Before vaccination, medical staff will make a small injection point on the patient's skin. After vaccination, the injection site should be kept dry and protected from touching or rubbing until the wound has healed.
Dosage Guidelines:
BCG vaccine doses are usually the same for adults and children. In general, the standard dose of BCG vaccine is 0.1 ml and is usually given soon after birth. For adults, if the vaccine was not given in infancy, it can be given at subsequent ages. In some cases, doctors may adjust the dosage based on specific health conditions.
Remember, the BCG vaccine is usually given to prevent tuberculosis, so it should be given at the appropriate time, following your doctor's advice and instructions. If you have any questions or concerns, please check with your healthcare provider.
The BCG vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis, but some people may experience side effects after receiving the vaccine. Common side effects include redness, swelling and pain at the injection site, and may even include fever, fatigue and other symptoms. A small number of people may experience serious side effects, such as swollen lymph nodes and skin ulcers. If discomfort persists or serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Before receiving the BCG vaccine, you should learn more about the risks and side effects and consult your doctor.
The BCG vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis, but its use may be contraindicated in certain circumstances. Contraindications include:
1. People who have been allergic to BCG vaccine or any of its components should avoid vaccination.
2. People with immunocompromised diseases (such as HIV/AIDS) should avoid receiving BCG vaccine.
3. Pregnant women should avoid BCG vaccination unless their doctor deems it necessary.
4. People with active tuberculosis infection are not suitable for BCG vaccination.
Before receiving the BCG vaccine, patients should tell their doctor about their allergies, existing health conditions, and medications they are taking. If you have any concerns or questions, you should check with your doctor. Following your doctor's recommendations is key to ensuring that the BCG vaccine is safe and effective.
