| Summary: | BCG vaccination remains relevant because of the tense epidemiological situation on tuberculosis in Ukraine. BCG vaccines are safe, but when they are used, there is a risk of complications. In the Donetsk region, from 2004 to 2008 the proportion of complications after immunization did not exceed 0.09 %, from 2008 to 2012 their growth was marked up to 0.6 %. It was found that it was associated with the use of BCG vaccine manufactured by Statens Serum Institut (Denmark).
