What you need to know about the TB vaccination Bashny.Net

The combination of letters "BCG" often we are hearing. Many of us know that this is some kind of inoculation. Someone knows that it is often made of small children. And others are concerned that this vaccine is very important because it introduced the baby to the first days of life. Surprisingly, very few people know the true purpose of this panacea, but, can you explain at all units. In fact, BCG is a TB vaccine.


In this country it pays a lot of attention, because we are one of the world leaders in speed the spread of this dangerous disease. The principle of the vaccine is very interesting. With the introduction of the drug in the human body gets disease-causing bacteria. Its task is to develop the particular degree of the disease to develop immunity, but not to infect the disease. The development of such a vaccine was a very long and difficult task. First, in 1882, the German biologist Robert Koch discovered that the tuberculosis bacterium. But after I had correctly "place" the right drug that he not only developed an immunity, but was resistant to the environment (for normal storage).


For the first time, the modified vaccine was introduced in France in 1923, and since 1962 it became mandatory in our country. Current vaccines are administered intravenously. It is important that their action is local, that is, the drug releases its antibodies without touching other systems and organs. The full name of the Bacillum CalmetteGuerin vaccine (BCG), respectively, in our transcription BCG. Parents of newborns are often afraid of those vaccinations that are made on the first days of life. But I hasten to assure you that the baby body ready for such shots from the first minute of their breath. But, viruses also do not expect when the baby gets older, they come immediately. It is important to know that the sooner is done the BCG, the sooner the body will get acquainted with the bacterium. And then the protection from disease will be much higher.


Immunization of the child's body occurs. The scar on meth injection, you can define its level. When the "icon" on the shoulder is too small and almost not noticeable, so the process was not good enough. Often mothers, because of their excessive diligence, begin in different ways to treat the injection site. It is very wrong. Because the process of healing must be intact in order to safely understand whether the process of antibody production. Of course, BCG, and loving another vaccine has its contraindications (mainly genetic aspects and allergies to components of the drug), so the advice from the experts never hurts.
