Tuberculosis (TB) is a dangerous disease that has killed many.

Ending the TB epidemic by 2030 is among the health targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). #endTB #prevent #treat

Tuberculosis (TB) is treatable and preventable. The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is the most effective way to prevent TB.

The BCG vaccine is 70% to 80% effective at protecting against the most severe forms of TB. #immunization #endTB #eridicate #prevent
