The Department of Health no longer offers TB skin tests as a routine service. As the community’s only program dedicated to the surveillance of TB and treatment of individuals with active and latent TB infection, we have to dedicate our resources to the highest priority activities related to TB control and prevention as determined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
