No. Althought they are working on finding cures and preventions for TB it is not yet preventable. Tetanus shots are made so that if you step on a rusty nail or something (etc...) it wont get infected and have to be like amputated. If you didnt get tetanus shots and that happened you'd get very sick and could likely lose a limb from stepping or getting punctured with something.

No, a tetanus shot prevents tetanus, also known as "lockjaw". It is a bacterial infection that can result when a wound is contaminated. It is called "lockjaw" because the infection become so severe that your muscles (and jaw) actually get extremely tight and stiff. Tetanus can move very quickly to death, and is preventable with the vaccine. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease that is caused by organisms that usually infect the lungs. There is no vaccine to prevent one from catching it, however, if you have a good immune system and avoid close contact with those who have it, your chances of getting it are slim. Symptoms include a persistant cough, weight loss, fatigue, night sweats and fever. With drug treatment, you can stop the spread of the disease and reduce the risk of spreading it to others. People who have it usually live for many years
