A. bcg vaccination which is given at birth in the upper arm will form a swelling by one or maximum two fmonths and then it will burst open and then pus will come out from it and after that it will become a scar mark. you have to take medical consultation if it days causing pain fever and discomfort to the child. also if the zpus discharge is increasing or aggravating again you have to meet the doctor and locally you can apply t bact cream.

A. hi dear The BCG vaccine contains live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis and following intradermal injection the BCG vaccine elicits a local immune response. This response most often results in an ulcer that heals over weeks and leaves a flat permanent scar at the injection site
