A member asked:
Could i get tuberculosis at age 33 if you've already taken the vaccine at 17?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Are you sure you had the TB vaccine? Because we don't usually administer it in the United States. I want to make sure you aren't confusing it with the TB test. If you have had the TB vaccine , it is still possible to get TB. It is not always protective.
