- 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
- We only read TB skin tests that we have administered
Note: TB tests are not done on Thursdays but may be read on a Thursday.
No appointment necessary.
There is no charge for TB skin tests needed for clinical placement, but you must bring your Health Insurance card (OHIP/Greenshield etc).
Ontario Health Insurance (OHIP) covers TB tests for a clinical placement (free).
Ontario Health Insurance does NOT cover TB tests for a paid workplace position.
