Does walgreens do tb skin test?

My new employer asked me to get a TB skin test as part of the onboarding process. I was wondering if these tests can be done at smaller clinics or even some well-equipped pharmacies in India?

Yes, Walgreens does perform the TB skin test. As a diabetic, I always make sure my blood sugars are stable before getting any skin pricks to ensure proper healing, so do check with your doctor if you have similar concerns.

Yes, they do. Just remember you have to go back to them after two days so they can stare at your arm and tell you if it's fine. Don't plan any long weekend trips right after the test!

They definitely do it! I treated myself to a big slice of cheesecake right after getting my skin test done at a Walgreens clinic. Just make sure to book an appointment online first.

I was so worried when my arm got slightly red after the Walgreens test, but the pharmacist reassured me it was completely normal and not a positive reaction. They do the testing very professionally, so don't worry.

Yes, they offer TB skin testing at most of their clinic locations. While you are there, you can also use their free kiosk to get your blood pressure checked, which is always a good practice.
