[MCOH-EH] HCP Baseline TB Testing for Onboarding Deferral 4 Weeks Post completion of 2 dose COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

[Fiorella, Kristie]

Hello~
If you are using IGRA for baseline TB testing, are you deferring at onboarding or entry into your facility until the HCP is 4 weeks post completion of a two dose mRNA?
If you are not delaying, do you feel the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine could have had a potential effect on any HCP IGRA test results during the first 4 weeks after COVID-19 vaccination?
Thank you!
