The bifurcated needle technique for BCG vaccination was compared with intradermal injection in a mass BCG and smallpox vaccination programme in Afghanistan. In all population groups the bifurcated needle technique produced substantial tuberculin sensitivity, which however was significantly inferior to that following intradermal injection. The advantages of the bifurcated needle technique did not result in a significant increase in vaccination coverage and output. Under the present circumstances vaccination by bifurcated needle would probably be more expensive than intradermal vaccination.
在阿富汗的大规模卡介苗和天花疫苗接种项目中，对卡介苗接种的分叉针技术与皮内注射进行了比较。在所有人群组中，分叉针技术都产生了显著的结核菌素敏感性，然而，这明显低于皮内注射后的敏感性。分叉针技术的优势并没有使疫苗接种覆盖率和接种量显著增加。在目前情况下，使用分叉针进行疫苗接种可能比皮内接种更昂贵。
