Important Vaccine Information prior to testing:
If you have been vaccinated with live vaccines (MMR, OPV, or Varicella/Chickenpox) and fewer than 30 days have passed, you must wait at least 30 days after vaccination before taking the IGRA test (to avoid the risk of a false-positive result). Other non-live vaccinations do not affect test results.
The test can be taken before the medical exam. Results are valid for 6 months.

Does BCG vaccination in the past affect the test results?
- No, it does not. This test is valuable because it helps distinguish between an allergic reaction and a true infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
