KTN Kenya Primetime News speaks about tuberculosis vaccines trials in Kenya.

Tuberculosis kills more than 1.8 million per year. The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, created in 1921, is the only existing vaccine against TB. Unfortunately, it is only partially effective. It provides some protection against severe forms of pediatric TB, but is unreliable against adult pulmonary TB, which accounts for most of the disease burden worldwide. There is a great need for a new vaccine against tuberculosis.
