  Injection site of BCG vaccine:

  If BCG vaccine is injected on the shoulder or On the deltoid muscle, convex scars are easy to form. BCG injection on the lower edge of the deltoid muscle can reduce the occurrence of such situations. Therefore, the BCG injection site must be strictly controlled. When inoculating BCG, it is required to be injected into the skin accurately, the shallower the better. The deeper the injection, the greater the local reaction.

  Intradermal BCG vaccination within 2-3 days, the skin on the inoculation site is slightly red and swollen, which is a non-specific reaction and will disappear quickly. After about 2 weeks, there are localized red, swollen papule-like lumps, sometimes softened into small white pustules, which later rupture spontaneously to form superficial ulcers, generally no more than 0.5 cm, with a small amount of pus, and then gradually scab and scab peel off There is a slight scar left behind. Before and after 2-3 months, it is the normal reaction of BCG vaccine.

  When BCG vaccine is inoculated, the BCG vaccine should be shaken evenly before injection, to prevent the BCG vaccine from being shaken enough to cause the bacterial solution to be too concentrated to cause a strong reaction, or the bacterial solution to be too light to cause a reaction, resulting in Vaccination failed. The success of BCG vaccination is related to factors such as injection technology and the proper preservation of vaccines. Therefore, you should go to those regular hospitals or tuberculosis epidemic prevention departments and ask trained medical personnel to be vaccinated.

   After injection of BCG, some abnormal reactions may occur, such as redness and pus at the inoculation site. Mothers should not be too worried and nervous in this situation. This is normal after inoculation. No special treatment is required. After three months of vaccination, you should pay attention to review.
