Improving the uptake of selective neonatal BCG immunisation
Commun Dis Public Health.
1998 Dec.
Abstract
A survey of selective neonatal BCG immunisation in Bolton in 1993 showed that only 6% of babies in the defined risk groups received BCG. Community medical officers at that time were responsible for administering the BCG. Midwives were trained to take on this role. In 1994, 88% of babies in the defined groups were immunised. This figure has remained stable in subsequent surveys and we are now aiming for 95% uptake.
