I would be annoyed having to go back in 3 days to have the test read though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tb-test-at-3-year-check-up#post-2189566 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:48:26 +0000 Chillybear 2189566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could ask if they will do a blood test called Quantiferon Gold instead of the bubble test.... I used to need one yearly because of meds i was on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tb-test-at-3-year-check-up#post-2189556 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:44:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2189556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>n/m read post wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tb-test-at-3-year-check-up#post-2189549 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:38:35 +0000 Truth Bombs 2189549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if my ped does this or not, but I've had TB tests myself and they aren't bad. I had a friend find out at her annual physical that she had been exposed to TB and she had know idea when or how it could have happened so if my ped wanted it done I would agree to it to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tb-test-at-3-year-check-up#post-2189544 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:37:00 +0000 BeachMama 2189544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking at the Physical Exam schedule on my pediatricians website and it says they do a TB Test at the 3 year appointment. Has anyone else had this done? It seems pretty unnecessary to me and I'm thinking I'll refuse it. </p>
