We had to be TB tested last year. Because someone died locally of it. And it was centred around the pub where we used to go to do the pub quiz a few years ago

My first son was inoculated when he was 3 days old because TB was rife in Glasgow at the time where we were living :-0

I've never had to have the TB injection because I'd come in contact with TB and my immune system had fought it off - I was asked if I was aware when so I assume it was due to being in contact with the 3 family members

Late 50s my uncle had TB and within weeks his daughter and my nan were all in the hospital with him. All survived I'm glad to say.
