New Delhi: Huge funds should be allocated for research organisations to discover advanced vaccines to tackle the dreaded tuberculosis (TB), a Congress member sought in the Rajya Sabha.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Upper House, Anand Bhaskar Rapolu said currently there is only BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin) vaccine for new-born children and there was no advanced vaccination. "With advanced stage of tuberculosis spreading infection to communities of lowest income groups, I urge upon the government to give prevention of tuberculosis and the necessity of advanced vaccines is highly required," he said.
