TB Screening

TB SCREENING

TB Skin Tests (TST) are done at Student Health Services all year round:
Mon Tues Wed & Fri from 9:30-11am & 2-4pm  
 
TB skin tests must be 'read' 48 - 72 hours after administration.  
You must return 48-72 hours after receiving your TST to have it 'read' or it will have to be repeated at an extra cost.

(NOTE:   TB tests are not done on Thursdays but may be read on a Thurs.)

No appointment necessary.

There is a charge for TB skin tests needed for clinical placement.
Ontario Health Insurance does not cover TB tests for a third party (e.g. documentation for work/clinical placement).
