The incidence of BCG ostitis was studied by the data of questionnaires sent from 36 areas of the Russian Federation (RF). Particular emphasis is laid on 15 northwestern RF regions where an indepth study dealing with the 2000-2004 detection rates of postvaccination osseous complications was conducted. The mean incidence rate was 6.62 per 100,000 vaccinated persons with great data differences between the regions. The reasons for the detected differences and the perspectives of further studies of the epidemiological indices of the incidence of postvaccination osseous complications are analyzed.
