Can my son get BCG vaccination at 11year

2020-04-02 20:23:00
My son was born in a country which doesn't include BCG vaccination for children as the TB rate is very low in that country. However we have been living in India since 2 years and I want to get him vaccinated for BCG. Is it safe to do so now?
