Ethnic differences in the rates of BCG vaccination.

S A Deshpande1.   

Abstract

An audit of the selective neonatal BCG immunisation programme showed that only 51% of eligible infants received the vaccination. Infants of Indian subcontinental origin (ISC) were significantly more likely to have been vaccinated than non-ISC infants (ISC 70% v non-ISC 29%). Greater awareness of the eligibility of non-ISC infants for BCG as well as simplification of the eligibility criteria are needed to help increase BCG vaccination rates.
