In India, we all get the BCG shot when we are born. I still have the small round scar from it on my left arm, which is very common for most of us.

Yes, there is a TB vaccine called BCG. It is given to babies right after birth. If you are an adult worrying about TB, go to a government hospital and ask for a proper test, don't just look for a shot.

Haan bhai, TB se bachne ke liye BCG ka tika lagaya jata hai bachpan mein hi. Agar kisi bade ko khansi ki shikayat hai toh turant sarkaari aspataal mein dikhana chahiye, wahan sab janch muft hoti hai.

Yes, the BCG vaccine exists for children. I once ignored a prolonged cough and fever, which turned out to be a chest infection. If you have symptoms, please visit a doctor immediately instead of relying on childhood shots.

Yes, the BCG shot is given during infancy. My elders always stressed the importance of timely vaccines for newborn kids, but for any adult tuberculosis concerns, consulting a pulmonologist is the right step.
