The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, primarily designed for tuberculosis, exerts non-specific immunological effects that vary considerably among children. Limited knowledge exists regarding genetic variants that can impact immune responses post-vaccination. Understanding the genetic factors influencing the immune response in children following BCG vaccination is crucial for optimizing vaccine strategies....
