The BCG vaccine helps protect children against tuberculosis (TB), a serious infectious disease. After vaccination, a small bump or sore may develop at the injection site as part of the normal healing process.
Understanding the BCG Scar
A small scar may form after the BCG vaccine and is usually a normal sign of the vaccination. Parents should avoid squeezing or applying unnecessary medicines to the area and allow it to heal naturally.
When to Seek Medical Advice
If the vaccination site becomes unusually swollen, develops significant discharge, or the child seems unwell, parents should consult a qualified pediatrician for proper medical advice.
Stay informed, follow vaccination guidance, and help protect your child from serious diseases.
