AFH License Rule and TB Testing

AFH License Rule requires a two-step TB test for caregivers upon hire, UNLESS they refuse - and then it requires written explanation. 

For instance, if you've been immunized against TB, just get a Chest Xray and write a not explaining that's why you won't get the skin testing.  Another legitimate reason is if you've already had the two step test within the last few months. 

Just remember, TB is airborne, and you may be exposed to it without your knowledge. 

Many people choose to get tested annually.
