## Description

The BCG World Atlas is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to the policies and practices surrounding the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, a key tool in combating tuberculosis (TB) globally. Established in 2011, this interactive platform has evolved through multiple editions, currently offering detailed insights into BCG vaccination strategies across more than 180 countries. Users can access up-to-date information regarding vaccination policies, the historical deployment of BCG strains, and the implications these may have on TB diagnostics, including variations in the tuberculin skin test (TST).

The 2020 edition introduces enhanced data reflecting recent practices, vaccination timings, and specifics on high-risk groups eligible for the BCG vaccine. The Atlas not only serves clinicians and researchers in analyzing TB diagnostics but also aims to connect global health policymakers through an open-access format. Contributions from users are encouraged to further enrich this valuable database, reinforcing its mission to improve TB management and vaccination strategies worldwide.
