More research is necessary to know the effect of BCG vaccine on corona

Doctors in India have stated the need for a detailed study after research claiming the reduction in severity of Kovid-19 disease in some countries with BCG vaccination. US New York Technical Institute researchers claimed that Bacillus Calumet Guerin (BCG) vaccination could prove to be an effective weapon in the war against the new Corona virus. In India, this vaccine is given after childbirth as part of the vaccination program.

According to lung surgery specialist Arvind Kumar, there is some connection between BCG vaccination and corona virus, but both have a direct relationship, it is too early to say.

According to senior respiratory specialist Ravi Shankar Jha, the disease should be studied on a large scale for this. Dr. Arvind expressed the possibility that our immunity could prove to be better against viruses due to pre-existing infections.

Not so in Western countries. At the same time, we will also benefit from the lockdown done by the Indian government in the second phase of spreading the virus.
