I am about to start nursing school and need to complete the 2 step PPD skin test for TB, as well as get titers for varicella and hep b. I am kind of on a time crunch and wanted to know if I could get all three started at the same time. I would like to go in for one appointment and finish the first step of the first TB test (I know I will have to go back 48-72 hours later) as well as get the titers taken. Is this something you can do? I called my local health department and the lady I talked to said I should get the titers done first before I come back to do the TB tests, just in case I am not immune to varicella, because if I have to get the varicella vaccine then I will have to wait 28 days before doing the TB skin test. But I feel like I should at least be able to the blood draws and first step of the TB test in one appointment, because neither one should really affect the other (despite whether I am immune or not). But maybe I am wrong. Just wanted to see what other people have done, or think would be appropriate. Thank you!!
