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

[Giovannetti, Mary]

We are not delaying. We are going ahead and drawing the QFT, then repeat 4 weeks after vaccination. We have not seen any effect on results.

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!
