Today is World Tuberculosis Day.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by bacteria. It mainly affects the lungs, but it can affect any part of the body. Worldwide, it is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, with more than 10 million people falling ill with TB every year and 1.4 million dying globally.

In the UK, the BCG vaccination is offered to babies who are at higher risk of getting TB. These are babies who are born to a parent or grandparent born in a country where there is a higher risk of getting TB.
