What is the name of tb vaccine?

My baby was born recently and the nurse told me about some vaccinations. She mentioned one for TB. I'm trying to keep track of all the names. What is the name of the TB vaccine?

Yes, it is definitely the BCG vaccine. We all get it right after birth in India as part of our regular immunization schedule.

The vaccine is called BCG. When I visited Max Hospital for my baby's schedule, the pediatrician explained its timing and benefits very clearly, so I highly recommend asking your doctor about any specific concerns.

The TB vaccine is called BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin). I actually have my childhood vaccination record scanned and saved on my health app so I never lose track of these details.

Arey, it is simply the BCG vaccine, boss. Every Indian child gets that small round mark on their left arm because of this. Don't stress too much about the scientific names, just make sure kids get it on time.

It is called the BCG vaccine. As someone dealing with diabetes, I have to be very careful with my overall immunity, so keeping up with necessary vaccinations and eating a low-carb diet is my priority.
