What is tuberculosis (TB)?

TB is a serious bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs but can also impact other organs. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Symptoms of TB may include:

Persistent cough (sometimes with blood)
Fever and night sweats
Fatigue
Weight loss

While TB is less common in the UK, it’s still a threat in many parts of the world — especially for young children and those with weaker immune systems.

Babies and young children who are likely to travel to or live in areas where TB is common

How to get the tuberculosis vaccinations at Park View Pharmacy

Getting the BCG vaccine is safe and straightforward. Here’s how it works:

01

Walk In or Book Online

Choose a time that suits your schedule or walk in during clinic hours.

02

Pre-Vaccination Assessment

Our trained pharmacist or nurse will review your child’s medical history and perform a Mantoux skin test (if required) to check for TB exposure.

03

Receive the BCG Vaccine

If the test is negative, we’ll administer the BCG vaccine via a small injection, usually in the upper arm. This will form a small raised bump that may leave a scar — this is normal and expected.

04

Aftercare & Documentation

We’ll provide full aftercare guidance and a vaccination certificate, which can be used for travel, school, or nursery records.

FAQs

Is the BCG vaccine safe?

Yes — it has a long-standing safety record. Some swelling or a small scar at the injection site is normal.

Does my child need a skin test first?

Possibly. Children over 6 years may require a Mantoux test to check for prior TB exposure before receiving the vaccine. We’ll guide you based on age and travel history.

What countries have high TB rates?

TB is more common in parts of Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe.

Can the vaccine be repeated?

No — the BCG is generally given once in a lifetime.

Is this vaccine available on the NHS?

Only for certain high-risk groups. We offer it privately to ensure quick access for travel, school, or peace of mind.
