    We had the BCG here, day after birth, because we are in a high risk area (think because we're near to Heathrow or some such nonsense) - wasn't compulsory, but thought we'd get it anyway.
    Word of warning though, the mark it made is still there, nearly 11 months on, and for a while, until about 6 months it was very red and oozy, and from what I remember it didn't start out like that, just noticed it one day, so don't be surprise if it does gross up soon...

    Oh maybe, I had one at about 13 but don't even know which arm it was it so unsure if the mark is still there.

    I just don't like the fact that it scarred my otherwise perfect angel:rotfl:
