About this study

This is an observational study investigating the effect that childhood vaccinations have on people's health.  We are particularly interested in the BCG vaccine, as there have been variations in the age at which it is given to children over time and between different districts.

Potential policy impact

This study will help inform decisions about future vaccination policies.

Methods

We will be interviewing adults and children in population groups that may been affected by different immunisation policies.  An initial sample will be recruited via centrally-held databases. We will then recruit individuals with similar characteristics who might also be willing to take part.
