The BCG Story: Lessons from the Past and Implications for the Future
Abstract
BCG (bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccines are at once among the least satisfactory and yet the most widely used of all vaccines today. Their variable efficacy against tuberculosis and leprosy is still not understood and points to a fundamental unsolved problem in vaccine immunology. The extensive use of BCG vaccines means that there are few BCG-free populations in the world that would be suitable for trials of future antimycobacterial vaccines. These facts have implications with regard to strategies for the development and testing of new vaccines against mycobacterial diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
