Using this "disease stage normalized" data, there was still a highly significant difference between countries that adhered to national BCG vaccination policy versus those that had ceases/never had a national programme ( Figure 1C ). The duration of BCG-induced trained immunity or how different vaccine strains compare in terms of longevity of induced innate memory is not known. 7 Since the persistence and immunostimulatory properties of BCG strains differ, their potential to induce trained immunity in vaccinated individuals could also vary. When we analyzed available data on BCG vaccine strains used in different countries BCG Vaccination Protects against Experimental Viral Infection in Humans through the Induction of Cytokines Associated with Trained Immunity	./cache/cord-299676-6wt9rn1a.txt	./txt/cord-299676-6wt9rn1a.txt
