>>There is a vaccine for TB???

Yes, it has been available since 1921. I sure got it back when they used the “thimble” — many of my era have a little mark still.

“the thimble ...”

I’m pretty sure that’s from the small pox vax. I’m old enough to have one of those.

I think you got the Smallpox vaccine, not TB. Few of my generation do not have that scar as well.
