Excerpt
While it is generally believed that BCG vaccination does not take the place of other recognized inethods of tuberculosis control.. . a WHO and many governments have accepted it as a useful public health measure, and as a result some hundred million persons have been vaccinated in a number of countries in recent years. Campaigns on such a scale have obviously required enormous effort and expenditure, yet many of the most fundamental problems are still far from sol\-ed. Should BCG be given to everyone whetller or not they have been infected with tuberculosis, or, if it should be given only to those not previously infected, what is the most efficient technique for selecting them '7 Is it essential that sensitivity to tuberculin develop after vaccination-if so: how strong should that sensitivity be ?-or can immunity exist even though sensitivity is not produced '? Can better vaccines and methods of vaccination be developed ? Is BCG vaccination an effective public health method for tuberculosis control, and is it worth what it costs ?
