Can the TB test used for badgers differentiate between active TB and antibodies to the TB vaccine?

I understand that cattle are not vaccinated against TB because the current test in use would become invalid if cattle were vaccinated.   I assume this is because the test is unable to differentiate between antibodies to the vaccine and active TB.  The same would surely apply to badgers as well.
