What should I do if my child is 12 years old and has not been vaccinated with the BCG vaccine?

Patient's question:

No abnormalities were found in the body, and the skin is prone to allergies. What kind of help is needed: 1. Does anesthesia affect a child's physical and mental development? Can it be made up now?

Doctor's answer:

BCG vaccine is a preventive vaccine used to prevent tuberculosis in children. After vaccination, it can help children develop special resistance to tuberculosis. If the child has not been exposed to tuberculosis patients, there is no interference. You can just catch up on the vaccination. No need to worry.
Three months after vaccination, you should go to the medical institution where the BCG vaccine was administered for a follow-up check-up and have a tuberculin test. If the test is positive, it proves that the vaccination was successful, and immunity has already been developed in the body. If the test is negative, it means that the vaccination was not successful, and the child will need to be re-vaccinated.
