BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) is the current vaccine for tuberculosis. The absence or presence of a scar is used as an indicator of previous vaccination.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the sensitivity of the BCG scar as an indicator of previous vaccination.
METHODS: We conducted a descriptive hospital based study of 100 infants attending two centres for routine vaccination and weight checks. Data analysis was done using statistical package for social sciences.
RESULTS: We surveyed 100 infants, the BCG scar was present in 83%, the average size of the BCG scar was found to be 3mm.
CONCLUSION: The BCG scar is a sensitive indicator of previous vaccination after the administration of the vaccine in the first month of life.
