I could only vote once in that category, but both my kids are/were negative so if you want to add one there. Neither had the BCG.
Also, to comment on something posted above, I can't remember which member it was, but someone explained to me a while back that the BCG does not prevent TB but will only make it less severe (and possibly deadly) if the child does contract it. So even with the BCG vaccine they can be carrying it or contract it here.
Hopefully the person who told me this (Mindybeth, was it you???) or one of the doctors or nurses her can confirm that, but I thought it was relevent to some of the previous discussion about whether to test children who have had the vaccine.
