I do not believe that SC requires yearly. We do on-boarding blood testing and then annual TB questionnaire. If there are any positive responses, they are retested and, if appropriate, a CXR is performed.

Hello!
I need to find out ASAP if any states are still requiring annual TB testing of healthcare workers?
- California IS
Please let me know if you are aware of any other states that continue the requirement.
Thank you!
