Safety of the Polish BCG-10 Vaccine During a Period of BCG Vaccine Shortage: An Australian Experience

We report on the safety of the Polish (Moreau strain) “Bacille Calmete-Guerin-10” vaccine in an Australian cohort. Using active surveillance, we identified an adverse event rate of 54.6 per 10,000 doses (95% confidence interval: 38.5–75.2), which was comparable to that reported with the Danish Sanofi-Pasteur and Connaught strains.
