Willingness to receive a future adult tuberculosis vaccine in Lusaka, Zambia: Perspectives from community members and healthcare workers

One or more new adult TB vaccines could become available in the next 5-7 years. To assess willingness to receive a new TB vaccine, we conducted a household- and facility-based survey among adult community members and healthcare workers (HCWs), respectively, in Lusaka, Zambia
