Are people vaccinated for tb?

Most Indians are vaccinated with BCG at birth, but remember that the vaccine's protection can fade over time. Staying active, eating a high-protein diet, and doing daily walks can help keep your immunity strong. Consult your doctor if you ever feel chronic fatigue or persistent coughing.

Humare yahan toh janam lete hi sarkari hospital me TB ka teeka laga dete hain sabhi ko. Yeh bohot zaroori hai aur bilkul muft lagta hai. Apne baccho ko teeka zaroor lagwayein.

I know how scary tuberculosis sounds, and the anxiety around catching it can be very overwhelming. Most of us in India do have the BCG vaccine from birth, which protects us against severe forms of TB. Try to breathe easy and talk to a doctor if you feel unwell.

Haan na, India me toh har bacche ko birth ke time hi BCG vaccine lagate hain TB ke liye. Woh left arm par scar hota hai wahi hai na. Par immunity strong rakhna hamesha zaroori hai.

Check your upper left arm—if you have that tiny round scar, congratulations, you have been vaccinated for TB! The BCG vaccine is standard protocol for almost all of us born in India, so don't worry too much.

I had a family member recover from TB recently. While most of us are vaccinated with BCG as babies, it mostly protects against severe childhood TB, not necessarily adult lung TB. My advice is to avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces and seek medical help if someone has a cough lasting over 2 weeks.
