Why aren't BCG vaccines given to adults?

BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccines are primarily administered in early childhood to provide protection against tuberculosis (TB).

While BCG vaccination is not routinely given to adults in many countries, there are situations where it may be considered for specific groups, such as healthcare workers or individuals at increased risk of exposure to drug-resistant TB.
