BCG vaccination is only recommended on the NHS for babies, children and adults under the age of 35 who are at risk of catching tuberculosis (TB).

There's little evidence the BCG vaccine works for people over the age of 35.

The BCG vaccine should only be given once in a lifetime.

BCG vaccination is recommended for all babies soon after birth up to 1 year old who: are born in areas of the UK where the rates of TB are high and or have a parent or grandparent who was born in a country where there's a high rate of TB and or live with, or are close contacts of, someone with infectious TB. Please see the guidance attached:

Find out about the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis (TB), including who should have it and possible side effects.
