Can I get a TB test done a couple days after getting a chickenpox vaccine?I was just vaccinated and I told the doctor that I needed to TB test first and they said it would be fine to get vaccinated first. I go to my school clinic to get the TB test done and they say they can't do it because I got a live virus vaccine. I have to get 2 TB test (1-3 weeks apart) BY june 9th. If I don't I lose my stop in nursing school.
What can I do?

a TB test is not a vaccine.....its a test to see if you have TB....your fine

i suggest you go back to see your doctor and get him to do the tests as he told you it could be done in the first place.
just a point though you should not have it done as you do have a live virus inside you right now and this could produce some false negatives for any tests done.

Screwed. The Doc messed you up by activating your immune system.
Now, if you get the TB you will show POS, because your immune system is on Kill.
You can't get the TB tests for AT LEAST 3 weeks, because IgM and IgG don't fully decline for 14-20 days after a live virus injection.
Sorry!
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
Do you find what you need? Look here!
