Tuberculosis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality especially in low-income and middle-income countries like India. BCG vaccination is recommended for all neonates after birth in areas with a high tuberculosis disease burden. Here, we describe a case where a neonate received two doses of the BCG (Chennai strain) vaccine within a span of 4 days after birth due to a vaccination error. Parents were informed about the event. The infant was managed conservatively and followed up till 12 months of life for any possible complication. There were no serious adverse effects apart from the localised reaction and a double scar on the left arm. Measures to avoid any such error in the future and the need for reporting medication error has been highlighted. Parental concerns are frequent in such scenarios and should be actively addressed.
结核病是发病率和死亡率的一个常见原因，特别是在印度等低收入和中等收入国家。在结核病负担高的地区，建议所有新生儿在出生后接种卡介苗。在这里，我们描述了一个新生儿由于接种错误，在出生后 4 天内接受了两剂卡介苗（Chennai 株）疫苗的情况。告知了家长这一事件。对婴儿进行了保守治疗，并在 12 个月大时进行随访，以观察任何可能的并发症。除了左臂局部反应和双重疤痕外，没有出现严重的不良反应。强调了避免未来发生此类错误和报告药物错误的必要性。在这种情况下，家长经常会担心，应积极解决。
