HALMED publishes recalled BCG vaccine batch numbers after Croatia suspends vaccination
Summary
Croatia's public health institute and HALMED have temporarily suspended use of the BCG vaccine made by Bulgaria's Bul Bio NCIPD after four suspected cases of a rare bone-infection side effect in infants vaccinated in 2024 and early 2025. HALMED said the reported suspicions involve batches 807-1 and 683-1, but quality concerns cover all 11 batches of the vaccine sold in Croatia since 2017, while advice to parents remains unchanged.
