the vaccine signals the human immune system to create lymphocytes to kill the mycobacterium...and that if logged into the immuno-DNA, (to explain the microbial action takes more space to describe)....the thing about TB, is to avoid exposure....rather than obtaining a vaccine...unless a person expects to visit TB prone areas....avoid exposure.....the bacterium is pernicious, and can get better w/o meds, or possibly with meds it goes away quickly, so the patient stops the meds (to save time and money) and presto- the infection reappears...only the next time, it is resistant to the meds...and viola, the patient must spend hopsital time for 6-8 weeks, (off work and stigmatized) finally, if traveling, the visa people want to test for possible tranmissions of TB...it can spread really fast...and is lethal to babies and elderly....also, remember pregnant women cannot receive the vaccine, it will cause damage to the fetus
