Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vaccinations for TB (Bacille Calmette-Guérin or BCG) are not routinely recommended or used in the United States because TB is not very common in the country, and the vaccine has limited effectiveness in preventing pulmonary TB in adults. However, BCG may be recommended for certain people at high risk of exposure to TB, such as healthcare workers or those traveling to settings where TB is endemic.
