TB Test

You need a valid test for TB (tuberculosis) within the last 2 years. The test must be a "Mantoux" test, which is a pin prick in your arm that takes just a moment and hurts a tiny bit, but not as much as a COVID shot! You then RETURN WITHIN 2-3 DAYS to have them look at your arm to see if there is a reaction. If you don't come back during the 2-3 day time window, you have to start all over again.
