This alternative model allows simulating contact degrees between immediate neighbors. The mathematical system used in the proposed program is based on the compartmental model SEIRS. The results show that using vaccine in the appropriate time can prevent the disease spread.  aSimulation models  aTuberculosis  aSimulação  aVacinação  aBCG  aCellular automata model  aModelagem  aVacina contra tuberculose1 aCASTRO, A. de1 aALVES, D.
