What Are the Reactions After a Baby or Young Child Receives the BCG Vaccine?

Answer

After receiving the BCG vaccine, babies and young children may experience some reactions, including fever, reduced appetite, and poor spirits. These reactions usually occur within a few days after vaccination and are typically mild and short-lived. However, each child’s reaction may vary, so parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and consult a doctor if any concerns arise.
