Good morning,
 
We wait for the TB Test, IGRA to come back before we start them. It takes a little longer sometimes for the MMR, Vricells and Hep B Titers so we don’t let that hold up their start date.

Good morning, 
I have a question related to TB testing for my employee health colleagues. Do you allow new employees to start work before a TB test is completed, whether by PPD or IGRA? My practice has been to wait for a result before giving clearance. I have allowed staff to start work before having titers for MMR, varicella, Hep B but I have always waited for TB results, regardless of what new position they are taking, e.g. office vs clinical.                      
 
What is everyone else’s practice? 
 
Thank you
