[MCOH-EH] Short-time volunteers in health care facilities

[Schweitzer, Kit]

We have many college and high school volunteers. We do 2 step PPD's because of the cost of TB QFT. For Volunteers, we only test for TB, not full panel of immunizations.

Cross posting to MCOH and OEM-L.
We have high school and college kids coming through during the summer  for a wide range of volunteer and "shadowing" experiences ...many of which are the patient care areas.   They're here for between 8 and 40 hours, total.
Is there a consensus as to what we need to do for them, from a medical clearance standpoint, stratified by how much time they're with us.  The least invasive is looking at their immunization records.  The most invasive I guess is phlebotomy for an IGRA.

Thanks

Ed Galaid
