BCG revaccination with DTP3 to reduce infant deaths in Africa
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving another BCG vaccine (the one for tuberculosis) at the same time as the third DTP shot can help reduce serious infections and deaths in babies in Africa. If your baby is healthy and getting their routine DTP3, this could be an option to possibly boost their overall protection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 14 weeks and 24 weeks old (about 3 to 5.5 months).
- They got their second DTP shot at least 4 weeks ago and are now due for their third.
- Your baby is not currently sick enough to need hospital care.
- They do not have any severe birth defects.
- They did not have a serious infection in their lymph nodes after their first BCG vaccine.
