There is no widely recognized vaccine for leprosy (Hansen's disease) like there are for many other diseases. However, the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, primarily used for tuberculosis, has shown some effectiveness in providing protection against leprosy. This use of BCG as a leprosy vaccine began in the 1980s, but it is not a formal vaccine specifically designed for leprosy. Efforts to develop a dedicated leprosy vaccine continue, but as of now, no specific vaccine has been approved for widespread use against leprosy.
