    What is the route of BCG vaccine?
    Question

    What is the route of BCG vaccine?

    A.

    Intramuscular

    B.

    Intradermal

    C.

    Intravenous

    D.

    Subcutaneous

    Correct option is B

    The BCG (Bacillus Calmette–Guérin) vaccine, used for tuberculosis prevention, is administered intradermally—usually in the upper arm—so that it forms a small bleb. Explanation of options:
    · (a) ✘ IM route is not suitable for BCG.
    · (b) ✔ Correct; intradermal route ensures localized immune response.
    · (c) ✘ Vaccines are never given intravenously.
    · (d) ✘ SC route is used for other vaccines like MMR, not BCG.
