Does timing of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine affect weight in children under the age of 5 years? An observational study in Guinea-Bissau
Receiving no timely BCG or Penta1 (or none at all) was associated with lower WAZ though much of the difference is likely explained by confounding. Timely Penta1 vaccination seemed less beneficial for girls.
