[Efficacy of BCG vaccination].
Adults born in 1961-1962 and later were found to have skin vaccination marks by 3 times more less those born before this period. The high risk of diseases in young individuals from the family contact inoculated with BCG vaccine was due to massive superinfection. The incidence of tuberculosis in individuals under latent tuberculous infection is promoted by no or low-grade BCG vaccination.
