23 min • 10 juni 2025

We explore the BCG vaccine and why it’s commonly given to newborns in countries like Mexico. You’ll hear what we learned from our pediatrician, how vaccine practices differ around the world, and why this immunization still plays a critical role in public health. Whether you’re a parent or simply curious about global healthcare, this conversation offers helpful context and cultural insight.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why the BCG vaccine is still necessary in countries like Mexico
  • What makes this vaccine different from those given in the U.S. or Canada
  • How a small scar can carry cultural meaning and public health significance
