Mantoux question

Hi, Gang,

Every year the counselors who arrive without proper Mantoux documention get shuttled into town during pre-camp for their tests and subsequent checks. Our head nurse is no longer with us and although I'm not the "head" nurse, I've been charged w a lot of the pre-camp health center tasks. I was wondering what we'd need to do to start giving the Mantoux ourselves, it seems like that would be a whole lot more convenient and cost effective. We do not have a camp doctor on staff, rather, we have two doctors in town who have been servicing our needs for many years who see our campers in their office, as well as prescribe our standing orders for PRNs. Can somebody please advise me on what needs to be done to get this ball rolling?

Thanks!

    When I worked in public health we would give mantoux as ordered by our overseeing physician to individuals that met a certain criteria (high risk). We had to take and pass a test certifying how to administer and read it prior to any administration.

    Our camp doesn't require our staff to have the mantoux, on the physical we ask the physician to screen for risk and if there is high risk only then do we ask for it to be completed.

    Are you in the US? I was under the impression that all new hires had to have the Mantoux test everywhere, unless they provided proof that they've had it in the last two years. I thought that was a federal thing. Maybe it's just my state.
