BCG vaccine

Since April 2015 there has been no BCG vaccine in the National Primary Childhood Vaccine Schedule in Ireland.

The HSE has no BCG vaccine stock available as there is currently no HSE BCG vaccination programme in Ireland.

The National Immunisation Office do not have information on sourcing the BCG vaccine privately.
