bcg vaccination should be done on clinical perspective.if newborn with low birth weight{term-preterm-fullterm}having no medical-surgical problem requiring prolong treatment and not received blood transfusion for any problem and if baby is thriving well,weight should be last criteria which is not important for vaccination.
but there should not be any technical difficulty for giving intradermal dose.
