Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Status

Received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine?



*Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination should only be considered the likely cause of a positive tuberculin skin test if all the following apply:

  • Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine was given after 12 months of age
  • There has been no known exposure to tuberculosis disease or other risk factors for tuberculosis infection
  • The person is either Canadian-born non-Indigenous or an immigrant / visitor from a low-tuberculosis-incidence country (less than 50 cases per 100,000 persons per year)

Read about international tuberculosis incidence rates. If there is uncertainty about the timing of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination, refer to the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin world atlas. Use an Interferon Gamma Release Assay if uncertainty still remains with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination and its timing.
