Estimating the potential public health value of BCG revaccination
Using previously calibrated models for India and South Africa, we simulated BCG revaccination assuming 45% prevention-of-infection efficacy, and we evaluated scenarios varying additional prevention-of-disease efficacy between +50% (reducing risk) and −50% (increasing risk).
Mapping the existing body of knowledge on new and repurposed TB vaccine implementation: A scoping review
