    Author: Demeshko ND.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1990; (3):8-10. PubMed ID: 2367513.
    Abstract:
    Reasons for antituberculous BCG vaccination postponement in 1985 and those for BCG-M in 1986 and 1988 in 2 maternity homes of Moscow are analysed. All the newborns were divided into 3 groups each 3100 infants strong. A number of the postponed infants in every group for medical reasons appeared to be practically the same, i.e. in 1985-160 (5.16%), in 1986-172 (5.56%) and in 1988-180 (5.81%). After BCG-M vaccine which is less reactogenic, there was an increase in the number of infants with unduly indicated postponed vaccination (in 1985-28.1%, in 1986-44.6% and in 1988-41.7%). At the same time there was a decrease in the number of non-vaccinated infants since they were prematurely born, and as from 1986 the leading vaccination postponement reasons were nervous diseases which are not considered to be counterindications for antituberculous vaccination.
