Tuberculosis
Results of a completed TB test (PPD) given in the U.S. within 90 days or results of a chest x-ray taken within the last year must be presented before school attendance begins by all students who have moved in from a foreign country (except Canada) or who have been out of the country for 6 months or more. A TB test given within the last five years is also required for all entering kindergarten who were born in a foreign country (except Canada). If BCG (a TB immunization) was given within the last year, the student must wait one year from the date of the BCG to receive a PPD, but they may attend school during that time period until the PPD can be given.
A child may be allowed to attend school “conditionally” if at least one dose of each required immunization series has been completed and the child is currently on schedule to finish the rest. The remaining immunizations must be completed on schedule for the child to remain in attendance.
