Clients are directed to
the Tarrant County Health Department only for follow up
appointments specifically assigned by the County TB staff. |
New clients should be first entered into the ClientTrack HMIS
system to collect basic client information.
A new card is initially issued as a YELLOW
TEMPORARY card with an expiration date to allow the
client 30 days to take the next scheduled TB test and TB
skin read. When the results are verified by the health department,
client records are updated and shelter staff can issue a permanent
WHITE card to expire one year from issue.
TB testing is a two part process: once the test is
applied, it MUST be read
48 to 72 hours later.
For the date of the next TB testing and reading, see
the Event
Calendar.
