📣 New article now in @FrontiersIn #Tuberculosis 📣 We held a #workshop to ask experts from countries with a high TB burden what #epi, #impact, #feasibility and #acceptability data they would need to decide whether to introduce new TB #vaccines 🌏🧮 https://t.co/X4Jdyqri3q

New modeling shows the potential impact of #tuberculosis #vaccines M72/AS01E and BCG-revaccination in #India. M72/AS01E could avert 16% cases in Delhi and BCG-revaccination 8.8% Read more https://t.co/0RHdYaLUDW

The 3 HP regimen has better completion rates, lower hepatotoxicity than 6H/9H for LTBI, but systemic drug reactions can occur with low BMI as a risk.I argue for a relook at the uniform 900 mg INH dose in populations with undernutrition, need for pyridoxine, & to document AEs.
