Good question. No, I don't think I am. Scarily, my Brother and sister in-law went to Egypt and caught it a few years back. It took 9 months to get well again, even with the really strong medication.

What! I didn't know you could get a vaccination for that.
-
Yes, when I was at school we all got an injection called BCG, which vaccinated against this. You got an injection of six needles in your lower arm, and then later an injection in your upper arm. This was always done on the arm opposite to the one you wrote with, and when it was BCG time all the older guys would walk around punching the younger guys on the left arm to hurt where they had been injected, as it came up in a lump. I'm left-handed so they were punching the wrong arm, but I would pretend it hurt anyway...

Hope so...

Yes. Got revaccinated five years ago when I stepped on a rusty nail. They only last ten years, the vaccine, not the rusty nails.

Yes, back in the late 1950s when my dad got the illness. The whole family, except for my newborn brother, had to get vaccinated.

Yes, I am. A yearly vaccination is mandatory where I work. Edited Dec. 3, 2008 - I read the question wrong. Correction: A yearly tuberculin skin test to detect M. tuberculosis infection is mandatory where I work. For information regarding the tuberculosis vaccine and the tuberculin skin test visit the World Health Organization at http://www.who.int/en/

I didn't know that there was a vaccine for TB. There is a test for TB. Most states require teachers to be tested. Cattle have to be tested too. It is very much on the rise, but no where near what it was in the 1920s and '30s. http://www.opacity.us/ http://www.therealwaverlyhills.com/ The Waverly Hills site, in particular, is a very good resource on the TB epidemics. The opacity site has photos of many different sanitariums. Some were later converted for use as mental hospitals, but many started out as sanitariums in the epidemics.
