Why Isn't BCG Vaccine Fully Effective Against Active TB? - Tuberculosis Disease Guide
Why Isn't BCG Vaccine Fully Effective Against Active TB? In this informative video, we discuss the BCG vaccine and its role in the fight against tuberculosis. We will examine how this vaccine works and why it is particularly effective in preventing severe forms of tuberculosis in young children. However, its effectiveness against the most common and contagious form of the disease in adults is considerably lower. We’ll explore the theories behind the vaccine's limited performance, including how exposure to environmental mycobacteria may impact its efficacy. Environmental factors and individual characteristics also play a role in how well the vaccine works across different populations. Additionally, we’ll touch upon the findings regarding multiple doses of BCG and why they do not significantly improve protection against pulmonary tuberculosis. Understanding the limitations of the BCG vaccine is essential for developing better strategies to combat tuberculosis, especially in regions where the disease is prevalent. We will also highlight the importance of early diagnosis, effective treatment, and improved vaccination strategies to control active tuberculosis.
