[MCOH-EH] Fit Testing -

[Boruff, Lisa J. (IHS/PHX)]

Good Morning,

We are faced with an unfamiliar scenario....If an employee is taking a biologic that suppresses the immune system which puts them at greater risk for TB,  can the individual  be fit tested w/ a N95 or N100, or should they only use a PAPR?     Please advise -


Thank you
Lisa
