My DC were each around 7 days old when they got their BCG, seemed like any other vaccination TBH. It did scab afterwards so I was careful to avoid getting it wet in the bath, took extra care when getting them dressed and whatnot.

DD now has a scar but DS doesn't, apparently this isn't unusual

DS had BCG at 5 weeks and it was the easiest vaccination he had. No scab/scar, no side effects, and didn’t seem to affect him at all.
