Abstract A number of new tuberculosis TB vaccines have been or are entering clinical trials, which include genetically modified mycobacteria, mycobacterial antigens delivered by viral vectors, or mycobacterial antigens in adjuvant.
Keywords: BCG, vaccination, tuberculosis, efficacy, biomarkers, correlates of protection, immune responses, infants. Pre-Sensitization with Environmental Mycobacteria BCG vaccination immediately or shortly after birth provides consistent protection against the disseminated forms of TB in young children 4 , 13 , 14 , and is very cost effective Route of Administration BCG vaccine is delivered most often by the intradermal route.
Vaccine Batch Variations There have also been questions about viability or growth rate variations in different batches of vaccine, which are only required to have colony forming units between set limits and thus may also contain varying numbers of dead bacilli. Global Differences in Non-Specific Protection? BCG-Induced Trained Innate Immunity Although interactions between the BCG vaccine and innate immune system receptors such as complement receptor-3 and TLRs 2 and 4 were previously known 82 , 83 , a more recent discovery is the ability of BCG to bestow a type of immunological memory on innate cells, so-called trained innate immunity 84 , Maternal Factors In some of these settings, many mothers will be infected with latent TB, and this could lead to either in utero sensitization or tolerization to mycobacterial antigens.
Delayed BCG Vaccination Many infants do not receive BCG vaccination immediately after birth, and delays in vaccination might improve immunity, due to maturation of the immune system, which is skewed toward Th-2 T-cell immune responses at birth.
Unbiased Functional Assays of BCG-Induced Protection: Mycobacterial Growth Inhibition Functional assays that do not rely on prior knowledge of specific immune correlates of protection have been of interest for some time.

It is best for your child to have the vaccine within a few days of being born and up to six months old, but they can be vaccinated any time up to five years of age. If your child is older than six months, he or she will be tested to see if they have TB. Depending on the results of this test, your child may be offered the BCG vaccine. How do I get my child vaccinated? What happens after the vaccination?
In 1 to 6 weeks, a small red blister may appear where the injection was given. After 6 to 12 weeks, the blister may turn into a small, weeping sore. If this happens, cover the site with gauze to allow air to get in.
Do not use sticking plasters. The sore may take up to three months to heal, and may leave a small scar. This is normal. How effective is the vaccine?
