Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I am not doing it. My son doesn't have TB but he does have allergies to everything on his skin, band-aids make him break out. Thanks everyone! I know it probably is safe - but is it safe to get my son a TB test for school? He is starting preschool and I have already given them the letter opting out of vaccines but they said he needs a TB test. The TB test doesn't have aluminum or some metal in it? I don't trust doctors. Thanks! -- Toni------Mind like a steel trap...Rusty and illegal in 37 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was required to have TB test. I submitted an exemption form & went for a blood draw for Quantiferon-Gold TB testing. Can save cost by going thru your County Health Dept Immunization Clinics, very little blood is needed.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 That's the test I posted about. Locations where it is available are posted on the CDC site. > > > > It does not contain Mercury. > > > > > > > > Pamela > > > > > > > > From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On > > Behalf Of Judy Florido > > Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 10:44 PM > > To: mb12 valtrex > > Subject: TB test for school > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I know it probably is safe - but is it safe to get my son a TB test for > > school?
