Association of BCG, DTP, and measles vaccines with all-cause mortality in children: systematic review
Although efforts should be made to ensure that all children are immunised on schedule with BCG, DTP, and MCV, randomised trials are needed to compare the effects of different sequences.
BCG and measles vaccines were associated with lower all-cause mortality. DTP was associated with a pooled relative risk of 1.38 (95% CI 0.92–2.08) from ten studies, all at high risk of bias. Recommended randomized trials of vaccine sequence; recommended no change to the schedule.
