Hello the college where i am based deals runs pre nursing courses (something like a cadet scheme). The students are between 16 and 18 years old and go on clinical placement within hospitals. We are expecting that this years students will not have been vaccinated against TB. They slip between every net. Their GPs wont offer TB screening/vaccination as it is an occupational need.They are not employed. Their placement site wont offer vaccine as they are not employed. The current service provider (an NHS plus site) may not be able to continue with the service due to an anticipated increase in their workload in their trust.they will still be able to t spot test them but potentially wont be able to follow up with vaccines, so i am looking at alternate approaches.I know that ultimately this may be a service that we have to offer however i want to explore all options. Are there any companies out there who offer vaccination service (like flu) for TB? Jacqui ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
