TB (Tuberculosis) TESTING

TB Skin Testing

TB testing is provided on a drop-in basis only; no appointments are needed. Please review the CLINIC ACCESS page for details. 


PROTECTIVE MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE INSIDE OUR OFFICE


TB Testing requires two visits:

Planting: The first visit is to plant the serum on the forearm**.

Reading: The second visit, usually 48 hours later, is for an examination of the forearm to check for any reaction and to receive documentation.

Special Notes:

Friday plantings in Abbotsford are read 72 hours later on the Monday.


Bottom Line: The test must read (i.e., arm examined) during the 48 to 72-hour window following the first visit. 


Most TB tests are $50. The cost of the serum is waived with a written referral from a licensed physician for certain medical circumstances such as diagnostics and pre-biologics testing.
