Tuberculosis BCG Mantoux

BCG Testing/ Vaccinating is often part of a specific Occupational Health requirement for some occupations. We offer the complete BCG testing and vaccination service.

For children aged under 6 years old the TB vaccination process is simple – the BCG vaccination can be given at your first appointment, as no pre-testing is required.

For adults and children who have reached their 6th birthday a two stage procedure is needed for TB inoculation.  At your first appointment we will perform a Quantiferon Blood Test (we take a small blood sample for analysis in the laboratory) – we will email you with your results and advise the next steps. A negative Quantiferon Blood Test will require you to attend surgery for your BCG vaccination. If you haven’t yet been vaccinated for BCG, we normally expect your Quantiferon Test to be negative.

If your Quantiferon Blood Test result is negative, then the BCG vaccination will be given. BCG vaccination must be given within 3 months of Quantiferon testing.

We run specific BCG clinics because the techniques for administering the vaccine are carried out by a specialist nurse.
