Abstract
Cellular immunity measured 10Â weeks after BCG immunisation was similar in infants given BCG at birth and in those given BCG at 2Â months of age. Although definitive correlates of protection against TB remain uncertain, these results suggest that delaying BCG immunisation does not confer any immunological advantage in cellular immunity.
