Request

I would like data showing adverse reactions following BCG vaccination in late 2008 - 2009. at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK. My daughter (now 18) has just been told that she may have cutaneous TB, caused by the BCG she had at the JR Hospital. At the time of the vaccination, she had a severe lymph reaction, etc. I would like to know if other children experienced the same problems and if they went on to develop TB.
