Influence of COVID19 pandemic on change of attitude about tuberculosis among patients with respiratory diseases in Serbia

Conclusion: Patients showed mediocre knowledge of TB, especially with reference to TB immunization measures. The probable reason lies in the various informations in the media about immunization against COVID19 and the consequent rejection of the success of immunization against TB. It is necessary to intensify the education of the population about the positive effects of all types of immunization in order to prevent the disease.
