Do all Mexicans (born in Mexico) have the tuberculosis vaccine scar on their arm?

Asked by essieness (7698points) June 13th, 2009

My boyfriend, who was born and raised in Mexico City, has a scar on his right arm that looks sort of like a burn scar. It’s from a tuberculosis vaccine that he got when he was an infant. He says that all people who are born in Mexico and who get the vaccine have this scar. I don’t know if I believe him or not he’s been known to play pranks like this ;)

So… does anyone know about this??
