TB (Tuberculosis) TESTING
No appointment is required for TB skin testing at our clinic. Please see the schedule below.
Private TB Skin Test – $80
For employment, school, volunteer, travel or other administrative requirements.
A TB skin test requires two visits:
Visit 1 – Test placement: A small amount of tuberculin is injected just under the skin of the forearm.
Visit 2 – Test reading: The test is usually read about 48 hours later and must be assessed in person within 48–72 hours of placement. The forearm is examined, the result is interpreted and standard documentation is provided.
The $80 fee includes both visits and standard documentation.
A note regarding two-step testing: In certain cases, some employers, schools and health-care programs require two-step TB testing. This involves two separate TB skin tests and four visits in total. Each test is $80, for a total cost of $160.
Medically Required TB Testing – No Charge for Eligible Clients
Some TB skin tests are publicly funded when there is a medical indication, such as certain TB exposures, diagnostic investigations or testing associated with immunosuppressive treatment.
Eligibility is determined according to current provincial criteria.
Important Information and Testing Schedule
Please review our OFFICE HOURS and BEFORE YOUR VISIT pages before attending.
A TB skin test may be given on the same day as a live vaccine; otherwise, testing should generally be delayed for 4 weeks after an injectable live-virus vaccine.
If your school, employer or other organization requires completion of additional forms beyond standard immunization or TB test documentation, a separate form-completion fee of $20–$50 may apply, depending on complexity. Standard documentation is provided at no additional charge.
