What is the recommended dose of BCG vaccine in neonates?
Answer: B
The recommended dose is 0.05 ml.
BCG is given intradermally over the left upper arm. For a baby under one month old the dose is 0.05 ml; from one month of age it is 0.1 ml.
0.1 ml is the dose for older infants and children, which makes it the main trap. 0.5 ml is the dose of vaccines such as pentavalent and DPT given by injection into muscle, and 1 ml is far too large for an intradermal injection.
