I know that BCG is normally not administered for children in the United States, but is it administered in Canada? I think it is administered in UK.
For those of you who have taken this vaccine when young or whether your children have received this vaccine. How did you deal with the PPD test? Doctors are telling us that people who have taken this vaccine stand a good change of testing positive.
It did happen to two of my children and I (who have taken the BCG) where the PPD was positive and the chest x-ray was negative and how does this affect the Visa Medical (for me). On the other hand the other two who did not take the vaccine tested negative for the PPD and X-ray as well
