The vaccinations explained

BCG: fights Tuberculosis

Named after Bacille Calmette-Guerin, this vaccine to fight TB is required in South Africa at birth and will automatically be given to your baby in the hospital. It is a freeze-dried vaccine prepared from an attenuated strain of bovine tuberculosis. If no scar is visible at three months, then the vaccine is repeated. South Africa still has a high rate of TB infection, in spite of this vaccination, but it seems to protect children against TB meningitis and milliary (widely disseminated) TB, both potentially fatal.
