1 Co-administration of BCG and Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) Vaccinations May Reduce Infant Mortality More Than the WHO-schedule of BCG First and Then DTP.

3 Fig. 2 Vaccination status and mortality between 6weeks and 9months of age. The figure shows the vaccination statuses the 37,894 children between 6weeks and 9months of age. For each status is indicated in [] the number of children who were in this category when the study started at 6weeks of age; the mortality rate per 1000 person-years (death/person-days of follow-up); N the total number of children who spent some time in the category and the number of female/male deaths between 6weeks and 9months of age. Some children had been vaccinated before 6weeks of age and there are therefore less than children in the unvaccinated at the start of the study. Note that this diagram has 691 deaths as accidental deaths have been excluded. EBioMedicine  , DOI: ( /j.ebiom ) Copyright © 2017 GlaxoSmithKline SA Terms and Conditions
