BCG Vaccination Policy, Natural Boosting and Pediatric Brain and CNS Tumor Incidences

2023-04-11

Abstract excerpt

Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination supposedly imparts and augments “trained immunity” that cross-protects against multiple unrelated pathogens and enhances general immune surveillance. Gradual reductions in tuberculosis burden over the last 3-5 decades have resulted in the withdrawal of BCG vaccination mandates from developed industrialized countries while reducing to a single neonatal shot in the rest. Con...
