Have you considered taking your child to a European state? Reason I ask is that there is a vaccine for tuberculosis (the BCG vaccine) which is widely available in European countries but not in the USA. On my next trip to Europe I hope to take that vaccine.

FWIW TB was the leading infectious disease killer in 2023 (surpassing COVID-19)

and remained so in 2024.




Happily TB is rare in the US, but if you travel a lot maybe it's worthwhile.


Rare for now.
