Hey, no is the answer. No need to revaccinate your child or to do any blood test to check his bcg status.

A raised blister will appear in most people vaccinated with BCG, but not everyone. If your child did not have this reaction to the vaccine, it does not mean that they have not responded to it. There's no need to vaccinate with BCG a second time.

Hi, I would advise waiting for up to six months before considering revaccination, please consult your pediatrician for the same
