Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate if the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine could provide immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
- - Conducted in Brazil, the clinical trial involved 264 healthcare workers, comparing the incidence of COVID-19 and immune responses between those who received the BCG vaccine and a placebo.
- - While results showed BCG might offer some protection and increased levels of immunoglobulin G against SARS-CoV-2, the findings were not statistically significant, suggesting more research is needed.
