BCG vaccine
I’ve noticed that my LO’s arm where she got her BCG vaccine has swollen up and is looking inflamed around the scabbed area. Is this normal or should I call the GP?

It looks like one of the normal stages to me. My son had BCG and it developed just as described in all the NHS prospects so this stage was short and happened quite early (maybe 6 weeks after the vaccination). My daughter had it too and it was developing much slower, so it looked similar to your picture when we went in for her 16 weeks vaccinations, I asked the nurse if it looks ok and she confirmed it. It is quite a bit smaller and started crusting now. I'd still recommend asking the doctors to look at it just for your own peace of mind.
I’d call GP that almost looks like it could be getting infected x
