Bcg mark doesn't appear on my baby girl left hand. Whereas doctor gave her bcg vaccination after 24 hr of birth. She born in november 2020 (5.5 month). Shall I vaccinate her again or what pls suggest.

Dear User, that is not necessary. As long as the card shows she has taken the BCG vaccine, it is not necessary to repeat the dose. The scar being present or absent is not an issue. Good Luck

Hi my daughter archisha is now 3 months 5 days old. She was vaccinated bcg after birth in left upper arm. After few days swelling occurred and it seemed like pus will come from it. Swelling was large in size. But no puss came out and the swelling now becomes less. As no puss came out, will bcg be effective?

The ere of bcg is just for the initial one month and not more than that actually.
Better take proper homoeopathic treatment as preventive.
The role of vaccination is very controversial in the actual prevention of disease.

My baby was born on July 3rd 2018. And vaccination was done on 4th. However I don't see any mark for BCG vaccination as it usually supposed to leave mark on body. What if doctors have forgotten to inject?

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

Health Query

My 3 year old daughter had only BCG vaccination since birth. Can she still get some other vaccination like the others who had their vaccines when they're days old? I want her to be fully immunized. Can she still get some shot? Thank you so much.

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