To see if given orally if it improves their chances of living or decreases them. They initially started with the hypothesis that administering both of these drugs would not be good for the infants. 7012 children ended up being enrolled into this research project. This study ended up going on for a little less than four years. The group that just got administered BCG had 3467 infants involved in it. The group that got administered both of the vaccines had a total of 3494 infants involved. “Within the first twelve months of the research project 73 infants died in the BCG + OPV0 group while 87 infants died in the BCG only group” (Lund, Najaaraq, Andreas Andersen, Ivan Monteiro, Peter Aaby, and Christine Stabell Benn). In the end the study they came to the conclusion that what they initially thought, which was administering both would do more harm than good ended up being wrong. They came to the conclusion that the group that was administered with both BCG and OPV0 ended up being healthier. This research that was conducted gives a pretty clear indicator …show more content…

Vogt, and Emily V. Mccormick.). Over the couple of years that they did this, the amount of children vaccinated actually went up a bit. This program offered children a chance to get vaccinated in school so they don’t have to take part of the day off. It made it very convenient for the families to get their children
