Re: BCG Vaccine (for protection against Turberculosis)
BCG vaccine will no longer be part of the routine school vaccination programme. Instead, BCG vaccine will be offered and targeted to high risk groups only.
If your child has missed any of these immunisations or started them late, don’t worry. Your doctor or practice nurse will tell you how to fit them in so that your child is fully protected.
