Abstract
Introduction
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is routinely administered at birth to prevent severe tuberculosis. Although BCG is generally safe, adverse events may occur. Therefore, this study aimed to describe reported adverse events following BCG vaccination among children referred to healthcare centers in Tehran and Alborz Provinces during one year of follow-up.
