Question
I dont understand what exactly this question talking about can you explain and how should i write for the answers. Bless you. explain briefly why the combined use of antibiotics & vaccination has not led to the eradication of tuberculosis (TB).

This is obviously a homework problem which I won't do for you.  I searched the internet under "Vaccination" and "antibiotic action TB".  You should do a search.
