Hi lybrate-user,
Don't worry if he did't get the vaccination scar. Scar will appear in most people vaccinated with BCG, but not everyone. If your child did't have this reaction to the vaccine, it does not mean that they have not responded to it. There's no need to re-vaccination.

Of course yes. Surprising to see that not a single vaccine was administered so far very much unsafe practice.

It is possible for your baby to get his missed vaccination at a later date. However, it is strongly recommended to follow the proper time schedule suggested by the doctors. Let's connect over a call for further detailed discussion.
Thanks.

Ask concern incharge in the hospital, they will help you. Otherwise, wait for a month, it will show up, if no elevated lesion (reddish papule), then you can give BCG once more.

Hello lybrate-user, some babies fail to develope scar after bcg vaccination esp. When given immediately after birth, but that does not mean that, she has not developed immunity, so no need to repeat vaccine.

When in Ireland follow their advice and once he comes here, follow Indian schedule of vaccination. It will not make any difference to child's health. Meanwhile be happy that you are blessed.

well first you need to confirm is whether BCG was given to child or not...if was given and scar doesn't appear then it is still okie ,it can happen...and you can wait till 8 to 14 weeks after vaccination till scar appears on left shoulder where it was given..
but if no record of BCG vaccination then you shall repeat it
