Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Reaction: BCG reaction is common with the vaccine. If you baby has a fever, poor feeding or irritability, please see your pediatrician in person. Otherwise report the reaction to the clinic/office. Keep the skin clean and dry, take a photo to send/discuss with your pediatrician. If there is a history of excessive infections, an immune workup is recommended.
