Question 9

how come the bcg tuberculous vaccine is not a routine in the u.s ?

Accepted Answer

Can't test for TB: Once a person has the BCG vaccine they can't be skin tested for TB because the test will usually appear positive. Since TB is not common in the us, it's more useful to be able to do skin testing on people who might have it than vaccinate everyone and not be able to do testing.

what does the term
vaccine titres are suboptimal  in laymans english?

Accepted Answer

Poor protection: Sub optimal is another way of saying not very good. When giving any vaccine you hope to trigger the persons immune system to make high enough levels of antibodies to prevent disease if exposure occurs. This statement means a test for such protective antibody levels revealed they were not as high as desired.
