immunization FAQ 10

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) tests are required based on increased risk of exposure. Some individuals may not experience symptoms if they have latent TB, which can be detected through skin or IGRA testing. Because latent TB can remain in your system for decades, testing is required even if potential exposure did not occur recently.

You can submit a previous TB test if you obtained one since returning from a WHO-designated country or leaving a higher-risk occupation.
