Why Use BCG?
BCG is very effective in the prevention of serious forms of TB, like TB meningitis or miliary TB, which can often lead to death. This is especially important for children because they develop severe TB much more often than adults. In areas of the world with high rates of TB the risk of children developing severe TB is high enough to make the use of BCG worthwhile.
