I don't know if this is the same as the old vaccine that was given to much of the third world. The problem is though.... if you do any kind of work with the public in this country you have to get a tb test every year. If you have received the vaccine you can't get the skin test. You have to get a chest ex-ray EVERY year. I don't think that is a good trade off.
