BCG revaccination in the Sverdlovsk Region is performed thrice: at the age of 5, 10 and 15 years. The percent of children covered by tuberculin diagnosis and BCG vaccination is growing. Complications of BCG vaccination remain at the same level. Tuberculosis morbidity in children rises due to minor forms of tuberculosis. However, it is 2 times less than mean tuberculosis incidence in Russia. Primary infection is registered 4.5 times less frequently.
