Can anybody give me the low-down on the bcg (against TB) vaccination?
We are offered it before 13 weeks as East London is considered a high risk area. LO is now 8 weeks so I need to make a decision.
But I'm not sure of the reasons why its not a general vaccination anymore, not fr babies or at 15/16 years when I had it?

as far as i know, its only 'high risk' areas that are now offered the bcg, but i dont know why it is only done in babys now. i was born in hillingdon and like you had it at age 15. my hubby was born in ealing and had it as a baby. i guess they have just standadised it now or something???
we are having the jab done, and our lo is booked in for when he is 6 weeks
