(b) Contact Tracing and B.C.G.Vaccination.
As soon as a case is notified as suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, appointments
for contaot examination are offered to all members of the family and to any other person
known to be in close contact. In the case of adults, chest x-ray examinations are done and
in the case of children, x-ray examinations and tuberculin tests. Contacts both adult and
children are kept under observation as long as it appears necessary. Children who are
tuberculin negative are given B.C.G. vacoination, with the parents' consent.
