Its rise to prominence began in 1908, when Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin at the Pasteur Institute in Paris developed a weakened strain of a bacterium that causes TB in both cows and humans. They first tested this vaccine in people in 1921; since then, more than 3 billion people have ...
The vaccine used in the study was a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, which is not common in the United States but is used extensively throughout the world. Given to 100 million infants annually, the current BCG vaccine for TB is the worlds most widely administered childhood ...
