RECOMMENDED VACCINES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS

BCG Vaccine

The BCG vaccine (Bacillus de Calmette-Guérin) is indicated to protect the individual from complications and severe forms of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the widespread miliary and meningitis). This vaccine is composed of live attenuated bacteria and the administration is intradermal. The recommended vaccination schedule is a single dose at birth.

The Vaccine Observatory studies routine vaccines indicated for children under two years of age (except flu and yellow fever), considering the recommendations of the National Immunization Schedule of the National Immunization Program of the Ministry of Health.
