Newborn BCG vaccination complemented by boosting correlates better with reduced juvenile diabetes in females, than vaccination alone
2020, VaccineCitation Excerpt :The results are inconclusive because of the different approaches and subtle nuances that may turn out to be crucial for demonstration of a prophylactic effect by BCG. BCG vaccination in Sweden has been discontinued as a population-wide program after March 1975, and subsequently implemented only for a minority of individuals at high risk for tuberculosis [11]. This has prompted an analysis in which two years prior versus two years after the end of the vaccination program were compared.

2013, VaccineCitation Excerpt :This result is important since insufficient vaccination coverage in children at high risk may affect the incidence of the disease in this group, as it has been observed in some other countries. In Sweden, for instance, universal BCG vaccination was discontinued in 1975 and replaced by a targeted vaccination [16,17]. After this change, the Swedish BCG vaccination coverage in target groups remained low, which led to a fifteen fold increase in tuberculosis incidence in children born of foreign parents (from 2.6 to 39.5/105 between 1975 and 1980).
