I received it BEFORE I came to the US. How many times do I have to repeat that? It wasn't just the PPD test. I had the inoculation.

Apologies. I missed your first post.

That said, BCG doesn't work. One poster said it protects only about 50% of the time, but it's not even that. It doesn't confer any significant protective effects in adults. It's typically given in infancy and can, as I said before, protect against certain severe forms of TB disease in infants and young children, but that's about it. No effective vaccine for tuberculosis exists.
