What to book
TB skin test
This appointment includes placement of a TB skin test. Your reading appointment is made at the placement appointment, as you must return 48 to 72 hours later for the reading.
Two-step testing
If you require a two-step TB test, please book two separate TB skin test appointments, spaced 7 to 28 days apart. Each step requires its own placement and reading.
How the test works
A TB (Tuberculosis) skin test helps determine if you have been exposed to tuberculosis. A small amount of testing solution is injected under the skin, and the site is checked after 48 to 72 hours.
How many visits
- One-step testing: two visits, placement and then a reading 48 to 72 hours later.
- Two-step testing, often required for healthcare programs: four visits over two to three weeks. We'll guide you through the schedule so you don't miss your deadline.
Timing
We recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks before your deadline, especially if a two-step test is required, to allow enough time for completion.

We recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks before your deadline, especially if a two-step TB test is required, to allow enough time for completion.
