The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine is still widely used in the developing world. The vaccination prevents infant death not only from tuberculosis but also from unrelated infectious agents, especially respiratory tract infections and neonatal sepsis. It is proposed that these off-target protective effects of BCG vaccine are mediated by the general long-term boosting of innate immune mechanisms, also termed \'trained innate immunity\'. The recent studies indicate that both COVID-19 incidence and total deaths are strongly associated with the presence or absence of national mandatory BCG vaccination programs and encouraged the initiation of several clinical studies with the expectation that revaccination with BCG could reduce the incidence and severity of COVID-19. Here presented results from the bioinformatics analysis of the M. bovis (strain BCG / Pasteur 1173P2) proteome suggests four immunodominant antigens that could induce an immune response against SARS-CoV-2.
