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!
