Pre-print out of the United Arab Emirates investigating the vaccine given for tuberculosis (BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin))as a potential CoviD preventative. Similar to the previous research on other vaccinations providing some protection.

quote:

Results: 71 subjects received the booster vaccination. This group had zero cases of positive COVID 19 infection. 209 subjects did not receive the vaccination, with 18 positive PCR confirmed COVID 19 cases The infection rate in the unvaccinated group was 8.6% versus zero in the booster vaccinated group. (Fishers exact test p-value=0.004).

Conclusion : Our findings demonstrated the potential effectiveness of the booster BCG vaccine, specifically the booster in preventing Covid-19 infections in an elevated-risk healthcare population.
