Hawaii Department of Health Resumes TB Testing

Published Tuesday, July 30, 2013 4:46 pm



After suspending TB clearance requirements for school personnel, food handlers, and workers in health care, domiciliary care, daycare, and residential care facilities earlier this year due to a TB testing supply shortage, the Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) recently announced that it will resume providing the tuberculin skin test (TST) in all DOH tuberculosis (TB) clinics statewide on July 15, 2013. Availability of TB test solution appears to be returning to normal throughout Hawaii and the DOH encourages medical providers, clinics, and people needing the test are encouraged to check with their provider on the availability of testing materials. The temporary suspension of requirements for TB clearances expires on August 9, 2013.
