Nuthin' rare about tuberculosis, MaJoC, at least not here in Canada. The disease is rife among First Nations folks, especially in the far north.

But your point is well taken. You get the shot to make the disease as rare as possible.

I don't know about right now, but when I came to Alaska in the 80s and you visited what we call "The Bush" you got tested for exposure to tuberculosis. I have not heard that that has changed.

Diseases of poverty (also known as poverty-related diseases) are diseases that are more prevalent in low-income populations.[1] They include infectious diseases, as well as diseases related to malnutrition and poor health behaviour. Poverty is one of the major social determinants of health. The World Health Report (2002) states that diseases of poverty account for 45% of the disease burden in the countries with high poverty rate which are preventable or treatable with existing interventions.[2] Diseases of poverty are often co-morbid and ubiquitous with malnutrition.[3] Poverty increases the chances of having these diseases as the deprivation of shelter, safe drinking water, nutritious food, sanitation, and access to health services contributes towards poor health behaviour.
