Abstract
The Role of BCG tuberculosis vaccine in the severity of Covid-19 is analyzed and it is observed that a number of cases supporting the possible correlation between the administrations of BCG vaccine in the population observed. Based on the early preliminary analysis of the publicly available data we propose a number of arguments and observations providing further support for the correlation hypothesis and make an observation that the effectiveness of the protection effect of BCG immunization, if confirmed, may depend to a significant extent on the age of administration, with the early age inoculation more effective for the lasting protection.
