BCG VACCINATION (Tuberculosis Vaccination)

BCG vaccination is administered selectively to newborns at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) in accordance with Czech legislation and regulations issued by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, based on the recommendation of the child's pediatrician.

For infants up to 6 weeks of age, BCG vaccination is administered without prior tuberculin skin testing.

For children older than 6 weeks, a tuberculin skin test must be performed before vaccination to determine whether the child has already been exposed to tuberculosis. Vaccination cannot be administered without this test.

At our clinic, tuberculin skin testing and BCG vaccination are provided on a regular biweekly schedule:

• Mondays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM – tuberculin skin testing and post-vaccination follow-up examinations only

• Thursdays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM – tuberculin skin test result assessment and BCG vaccination

An appointment is required for both the tuberculin skin test and BCG vaccination. Please call +420 773 989 690 to schedule an appointment.

Service for doctors

We accept patients even without any recommendation of their physician. However, it is an advantage if the patient has a written recommendation including anamnestic data, comorbidities and comedication (especially data on antibiotic therapy in the last 6 months, data on treatment with beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors, data on anticoagulant treatment, etc.). If you are sending patients with a chest scan already performed the description is not enough for us. The original or a copy (on CD or other data storage device) is much more suitable. We will be happy to arrange and describe the chest skiagram on the same day at both workplaces.
