Complete the updated Day 5 newborn blood spot (NBBS) screening e-learning

August 19, 2021

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a new condition that will be added to the Day 5 NBBS screening for all babies born on and after Wednesday 1 September.

Note: This will also affect the BCG (Bacillus Calmette–Guérin) administration pathway meaning all babies born on and after Wednesday 1 September will now be offered the BCG vaccination in an outpatient clinic around 28 days.

If you haven’t done so already, please ensure you have familiarised yourself and complete the e-learning module.
