Summary
This study in Guinea-Bissau tests whether making the BCG vaccine available every day at health clinics can reduce infant deaths. Normally, the vaccine is only given on certain days, causing delays. The trial involves 22,800 infants and compares daily availability to the usual schedule. The goal is to see if earlier vaccination lowers deaths from causes other than accidents.
