A member asked:
I have to get the second dose of the chicken pox vaccine and a tuberculosis screening. which one should i do first.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tb screening : Tb screening should be done first. If there's any concern of underlying untreated active infection such as active TB then live vaccines such as chicken pox usually contraindicated. However since you already received first dose and assuming you tolerated it well, then there would be no difference which one to get first
