I just took the H1N1 (nasal) vaccine and I tried to do the TB test but they told me to wait a month after the H1N1, why?

tb is bacterial test and h1n1 is viral disease. if you do the both of them at the same time they might cross react and might give rise to the new strain. so only one month gap is required between the two tests
