Question
If an infant misses the timely BCG vaccination, is it necessary to conduct a tuberculin test before vaccination?
Answer
The BCG vaccine is typically administered shortly after birth, but if the infant fails to receive it on time, the vaccination should be completed within three months. If it exceeds three months without vaccination, a tuberculin test is required before the BCG vaccine can be administered; only a negative result allows for vaccination. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health, along with a beautiful life.
