RE: Question about TB testing for HCW's

[Guest guest]

I know if you work in a hospital - no. JCAHO requires it, I believe. I

opted for a chest x-ray after refusing the skin test - said I was allergic

to phenol. They were NOT happy and made a great big deal about it. The

employee health nurse kept telling me the skin test is safe for pregnant and

nursing moms (I'm nursing) and I had to keep telling her, " it's not that "

(choke), it's that I'm allergic. :-) So I opted for what I believe is the

lesser of two evils.

The info I've compiled on TB test is here

Hospitals can demand whatever they want.

But there is an alternative blood test, described on the page above

Will have to research if it is available in your area.
