Procurement method rationaleBadgerBCG (BCG Danish Strain 1331) is a specific licenced and approved veterinary product for use in badgers. AJ Vaccines are the only organisation that manufacture BadgerBCG. BadgerBCG is the only vaccine that has been granted UK Marketing Authorisation (MA) by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) for use in badgers to control TB. Although unauthorised vaccines and strains of BCG may be used in badgers, this would only be in exceptional circumstances where there is no suitable UK-authorised veterinary medicine available.
