| We are required to get one once a year at my job but I am in the medical field. If you are not going to be working in a high risk area, it may be longer. |

| I was thinking it was within 10 years...along w/ a tetnus (sp) shot too...outside the medical field. I think that it was my grandmother's Dr. said when she had hers done because she hadn't one them in a long time.

| I think that you will have to have a pre-employment TB skin test done and then usually yearly after that. Which is really a good thing because if you have came in contact with TB you want to know early, it is really for your protection as well as others. |
