Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby is 3 months old, 15.8lbs. I accidentally pricked my baby's bcg because I stupidly thought it was a boil or an infected insect bite, so I tried to squeeze all the pus and blood inside. What would happen to my baby? Would the bcg be ineffective? What should I do?
Hi, BCG will not be ineffective. When a bcg vaccine is given, a papule develops at the site at 2-3 weeks, which gradually heals leaving a scar. You need not to do anything. Regards - Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
