Clinical trials: Non Specific Effects of Vaccine
Infant Morbidity, Infant Mortality
BCG Revaccination With the Third Dose of Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis Vaccine and Infant Mortality in Africa
Studies in low-income countries show that vaccines can have important non-specific effects on other infections. Live BCG vaccine can train the immune system and reduce susceptibility to unrelated infections.
