A widely used tuberculosis vaccine protected people with type 1 diabetes from Covid-19, according to a study, further illustrating the potential immune-enhancing powers of the BCG shot
A widely used tuberculosis vaccine protected people with type 1 diabetes from Covid-19, according to a Massachusetts General Hospital study published Monday that further illustrates the potential immune-enhancing powers of the shot, called BCG.
The vaccine, a weakened version of the tuberculosis bacterium that infects cows, is given more than 100 million times a year around the globe to infants, but it isn’t part of the standard vaccination program in the U.S. Doctors have long suspected it has additional effects beyond tuberculosis prevention.
