Bcg vaccine - what does this mean
The bcg vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine against tuberculosis. it is administered as a single dose just under the skin, usually in the left upper arm. the vaccine works by introducing a weakened form of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis into the body, which stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the disease. the weakened bacteria cannot cause the disease, but they are able to stimulate the body to produce immunity against the disease.
