BCG vaccine is used to help prevent tuberculosis (TB) in adults and children who have never had this disease and test negative for tuberculosis. BCG vaccine is recommended if you live with or have close contact with someone who is infected with tuberculosis.

BCG vaccine works by exposing you to a small dose of live bacteria, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active TB infection that has already developed in the body.

Like any vaccine, the BCG vaccine vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.

BCG vaccine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
