We do the same here. Do you require a past negative chest x-ray on start or do you do a chest x-ray on start and then do the tb f/u annually after that?

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Annual PPDQ's
I am wondering how you handle annual ppd questionnaires for those who have had a +ppd or IGRA tuberculosis screening. We perform our annual questionnaires on 5/1 of each year. My question is if you hired someone in January, February, March or April and they filled out the questionnaire on hire, would you have them make out a new questionnaire with the annual May surveillance or would you put their next due date as 5/1 of the following year (example someone hired 2/1/15—next due date for questionnaire 5/1/15 or 5/1/16?)
Thank you,
