Children's went to testing using the Quantiferon Gold testing several years ago, so we have not used/ordered Tubersol or Aplisol during that time.

We’ve received information from our Pharmacy supplier, that the Tubersol is also backordered (indefinitely).

As we usually do two-steps on our new volunteers, we’ve begun given them TSPOTs as well.

We offer Tubersol versus the Aplisol (shortage).  We still do annual testing and new hire 2 step testing per NYS DOH regulations.

I am wondering how the group will be handling the TST shortage for various clients, especially healthcare facilities and OSHA required testing.
