Abstract

Abstract Pandemic-related disruptions led to lower Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine coverage in Brazil. This study highlights a link between reduced vaccinations and increased tuberculosis pulmonary and extrapulmonary cases in infants. Addressing vaccine hesitancy and ensuring healthcare stability is vital for mitigating impacts.
