In my latest research, I delved into the significant role of vaccination in preventing pulmonary tuberculosis. I found that the BCG vaccine, particularly administered at birth, plays a crucial part in providing protection against severe forms of Tuberculosis in children. Interestingly, its effectiveness in adults is a bit variable, yet it's still a key player in TB prevention. I also learned about the ongoing development of new vaccines, which aims to provide a more consistent and effective response against all forms of TB. This highlights the importance of global efforts in enhancing TB vaccination strategies to combat this deadly disease.

However, it's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness and possible side effects. I'll be keeping an eye on this development and will update you all as more information becomes available.
