Where to Get a TB Test

Listed below are three locations that also provide TB testing. You may also visit your regular physician's office. In either case, please bring in a copy of the certification that you are TB free. The test needs to be done every two years. Sitar Arts Center can reimburse you for fees associated with the TB Test, up to $50, if you turn in your receipts.
Note: Getting a tb test involves getting a tiny injection that is then checked again by the test service provider for a skin reaction within 48 hrs. Please plan accordingly.
