Just want to preface that I am by no means an anti vaxxer just want to make informed practical decisions.
I have read a few older posts regarding this famous vaccine that can leave a nasty scar. Has there been any change since then? Meaning anyway to get it done intradermal within Japan? For those that opted not to get it did it pose any problems so far regarding needing to prove you have it? If you get it done abroad in another country without the 9 needle method would it still be recognized by Japan?
For background my wife and I are both leaning against it as her scar never healed and it seems to provide very very little benefit based on the articles I have read thus far. Most of the cases reported in Japan are from the elderly and the vaccine does not actually protect against TB in the lungs only meningitis TB.
Update: Thanks for everyone who replied with actual information as well as their personal experiences. Great to hear that a lot of recent vaccinations are not leaving the huge scar from 30 years ago!
I have reached out to Tokyo Medical and Surgical Clinic as someone in the comments suggested and will see what kind of options they offer/recommend.
