Check out Treatment Action Group (TAG)'s vax-zine, A Shot at Success on new Tuberculosis vaccines!

"TB killed 1.2 million people in 2024 making it the world's deadliest infectious disease, despite being preventable and curable. Alongside close partnerships with communities affected by TB, TAG is advocating for new TB vaccines, diagnostics, and treatment regimens to realize the end of TB.
Today we stand with communities to fight misinformation, demand urgency, and reaffirm our commitment to ending TB.
Innovation alone doesn't save lives. Access does.
