Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The NHS guidelines on the BCG vaccine already state that "BCG vaccination is recommended for babies who are born in areas where TB rates are higher than in the rest of the country, including some parts of inner London."

You could start a new petition calling for the BCG vaccine to be given to all babies.
