BCG vaccine is given against tuberculosis disease.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. BCG Vaccine: The Bacillus Calmette–Guérin vaccine is a tuberculosis vaccine developed by Bacillus Calmette–Guérin. It was created by Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin and is named after them. In nations where tuberculosis or leprosy are common, healthy neonates should receive one dose as soon as possible after delivery.
2. Tuberculosis disease: A potentially deadly bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. When an infected individual coughs or sneezes, the germs that cause tuberculosis are disseminated. The majority of people who are infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis don't show any signs or symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they typically include a cough (which can be bloody), weight loss, nocturnal sweats, and a fever. Treatment isn't usually necessary for folks who don't have any symptoms. Active symptoms will necessitate a lengthy course of antibiotic treatment using numerous medications.

Final answer: The given statement is True.
