When Qantas still actually flew, rather than code shared, around the world I recall taking the option of being jabbed/boosted for *everything*.
Getting the dreaded Lurgi while in some Bombay (as it was called then) hotel

Notice TB wasn't on the list. I wonder how many people have had or even considered a booster for TB. I remember getting the TB shot in school and when I was in the RAAF they did this skin reaction test for TB to see if the inoculation was still effective .. I ended up requiring a booster.
