Vaccination Scar

Asked for Female, 7 years

Can you plz guide me about this BCG vaccine confusion. Is it necessary for the scar or blister to appear after you vaccinate? As I had it done for my daughter but there is no scar or blister. Some poeple say you have to vaccinate again while others say there is no need. She is one and a half month old. (Even my elder one has no scar, she is 3) Thank you in advance

Dear Patient,

Thank you for your query. During the old practice this was a must. Nowadays this isn't the case. It's okay to not have a scar.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Pediatricians in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
