I really doubt OP needs the tuberculosis vaccine unless they're going to travel in an area where there's a lot of it, or they live in some vast city like New York.

How TB spreads, right here folks.

We live in an age of mass transit. You might never be in a high-risk TB area right now, but guaranteed that at some point in the next week (if not the next few hours) you'll be in contact with someone that was. TB is a horrifyingly easy disease to catch, and a horrifying one to treat if you catch a drug resistant strain. Not to mention that with every new case of regular old TB that emerges, the risk of a new mutant strain emerges.

We have forgotten the horrors of TB and become frightfully complacent over it. It is a bigger health concern than ebola, terrorist-created-smallpox, and influenza put together. TB just doesn't get the same airtime as those, even though it scares the pants of healthcare professionals whenever a case comes into hospital.

So you're saying that the CDC is not concerned about the transmissibility of tuberculosis and is encouraging practices that spread the disease?

Because they do not recommend the BCG vaccine except for some children who are exposed on a continual basis to infected adults and some health-care workers who serve populations with a high infection rate.

In fact, they suggest that BCG isn't even particularly effective for adults.

Also, going by the UK's NHS website, TB is not "horrifyingly easy" to catch from riding the subway with an infected person, let alone with someone who was recently in a high-risk area.
