Immunization BCG or BCG vaccine is still the only way to prevent TB (Tuberculosis).BCG vaccine itself is a TB germs live attenuated and this is expected to create antibodies to the baby's body to fight tuberculosis.BCG imuniasasi program is a government program that must be followed by all infants in Indonesia.Injecting BCG is done while infants aged 1-3 months, but can more quickly be given if the conditions lingkungannnya risk for transmission of tuberculosis.
Injecting BCG recommended by WHO are given in the upper right arm and not in the thigh, because of thigh fat is widely available and this makes it difficult to be penetrated by the vaccine itself.But still many are given in the thigh for aesthetic reasons.
Many children have some former grater (bump) arising after the BCG immunization.It does not need to worry, because it will disappear by itself with age.Lump arising in the baby's upper right arm after an injection of BCG is one indicator of the success of immunization.
Former grater was originally wound in the form of large blisters that then form small ulcers that ooze pus.Small suppurating ulcers should not be squeezed because it was feared would cause a new infection or injury, it's better left alone break itself.After that will come a sign of the success of immunization in the form of small bumps or like a mosquito bite.
BCG's success will be seen no later than 3 months or fastest 1 month after immunization.
If this mark does not appear, there are several possible causes,
- Incorrect injection technique
- Dose vaccine is too little
- Storage of vaccines is not good so the quality is not prima
- Infants decreased endurance
- Levels of antibodies that the body makes little baby
If immunization is not successful (no lumps sign up) gift need not be repeated, because the antibodies have been formed against TB bacteria only low levels
