BCG eligibility poster

On behalf of London Immunisation Team, NHS England London Region

Please see below poster that contains a QR code and guide to the WHO TB incidence country profile list, to assist with identifying infants aged 0-12 months who are eligible for the neonatal BCG vaccination programme. According to the Green Book Chapter 32, this comprises of:

1. All unvaccinated infants (aged 0-12 months) living in areas of the UK where annual incidence of TB is greater than or equal to 40/100,0003 (in London currently, it is only the borough of Newham where a universal service is offered)
2. All unvaccinated infants (aged 0-12 months) with one or more parent or grandparent who was born in a country where the annual incidence of TB is greater than or equal to 40/100,000
3. All unvaccinated infants (aged 0-12 months) who were born, or resided for three months or more, in a country where the annual incidence of TB is greater than or equal to 40/100,000

If you identify an infant who is eligible, please refer them to the relevant borough BCG vaccination service via the contact details below:
