Recently we received a notice that they have discovered 3 cases of tuberculosis (2 inactive, 1 active) at the school. We were then told not to worry too much as 47% of all Nepalis have TB.
Are your kids vaccinated? There is a vaccine for TB. I know some parents don't vaccinate, however, if you are interested, here are a couple sites with info about the vaccine.

I hope that you don't have to worry about it at all and that your family is safe.

Yes, indeed, we are all vaccinated. There is no way someone who lives overseas could be antivaccine. That is like playing Russian Roulette.
At first when I saw the post title on my page I thought you had written about your upcoming trip to Thailand & Bali.
Anyway, glad to hear that you are all vaccinated.
Aauuuggghhh!!
Glad you're all vaccinated. Just to be safe though, have the kids hold their breath at school.
