Specializes in Infectious Disease

Not in the U.S.: These are not routine vaccinations in the U.S., where BCG is not used and rabies vaccination is only indicated for certain types of risk or exposure.

Perhaps rabies : Bcg is not used in the usa. Rabies vaccine is used based on occupational or travel risk or postexposure.
