The BCG vaccine protects babies from severe TB.

It’s offered in areas where TB is more common or if a parent or grandparent was born in a country with higher TB rates.

Good hygiene helps stop TB spreading:

• Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
• Open windows for fresh air
• Let natural light in

A strong immune system helps protect against TB.

Rest well. Eat well. Stay active. 💙

TB spreads through the air when a person with infectious TB coughs or sneezes.

Understanding transmission helps protect our communities. 💙

TB can affect anyone — but some communities are at higher risk.

Awareness leads to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. 💙
