Hi Rose! It is true that there is no vaccination to prevent against tuberculosis, but there is treatment available for people who have it. Talk to your doctor if you are worried that you might have TB or have been exposed to it. You can also call Contra Costa Public Health at 1-877-405-8573 for more information, including how and where to get tested for TB in our county.
No such thing as a tb shot. There are tests for TB (PPD) which is a skin test to see if you have had tb or a blood test to test for the same but there are no vaccinations for TB only not face masks. Cost depends on if you have insurance or not. Hope this helps.
How much does it cost to get the tb test if you do not have insurance? I got kicked off of my insurance because they claimed that I make too much but I don't but I need to get another tb test done (renewed) by May 5th which is when my test results expires.
