Yeah that’s pretty much it! The BCG vaccine is the main one they use — it’s been around forever and works really well for kids especially. For adults it’s a bit hit or miss though.
The thing is, if you actually get TB the vaccine won’t cure it — you’d still need a full round of antibiotics which can take like 6 months or more. The vaccine is really just there to prep your immune system beforehand.
They’re also working on better vaccines since the current one has its limits. But overall you summed it up pretty well!
