BCG vaccination for newborn
My 2 month old son does not have that bump of BCG vaccination usually we get. Hospital people said that they have given on the day of birth with out our notice. These is small bump like mole. People say that if we get big bump only vaccination is effective or else it not. Do I need to get vaccination done once more.

Small bump is sufficient......nothing to worry, if there is no mark on bcg vaccinated site, vaccination can b repeated
