Hi everyone. I am still awaiting for feedback from several bp providers regarding my application. In the meantime I am completing the vaccination necessary. If one goes through the lists, most bp provider have almost the same vaccine/immunization requirement. Could anyone recommend a place where to get the PPD/Mantoux test? tia :)

I did mine at TDF in front of makati med

I paid the 1,500 then print, sign, scan and send the offer letter back to ihna

for some reason (which I still don't know why), I'm negative on TB Skin Test. I've had it twice for my employment before in the US and both were negative. Which is good, it saves me some explaining and unnecessary x-rays. All other Filipinos working with me tested positive.

They said that Filipinos in general are positive due to environmental / physical exposure (?) and because of the BCG vaccine. I asked my mom if I had it when I was little and she said yes. I even have it on records. I don't know, maybe I lived in a bubble wrap or something. lol

Hi thanks! Would like to ask, how about your immunisation? When did you send it back to them?
