TB Tests Resume in Time for the School Year

By /

Starting Monday, state health clinics will offer Tuberculosis skin tests once again. A nationwide shortage of the solution used for the test spurred a 120-day break in TB requirements.

A full listing of DOH TB testing locations and hours as well as TB clearance requirements can be found on the DOH TB Control Branch website at www.health.gov/health/tb. For more information on tuberculosis or TB testing, the public may call the Hawaii TB Control Branch at (808) 832-5731 or visit www.hawaii.gov/health/tb.
