Mainly through the air droplets which contain the bacilli. Wearing a mask when we go out is a good practice, but to be practical it is impossible to wear one every time we go out. Hence when we go to a place where TB is prevalent or visit a TB patient/ hospital, it is advisable to wear a mask. But it is mandatory for TB patients to wear a mask. BCG vaccine, bacille Calmette-Guérin is a vaccine for tuberculosis disease. It is one of the first vaccine given to babies right after its birth. BCG vaccine can be given upto 5 years of age. And if you were not immunized against TB, don't worry just keep your immune system healthy by eating balance diet. TB spreads through air from an infected person to another.
