tb skin test??

[myHgirls]

I'm 18w3d. I'm required to have an annual tv skin test for my job. I've done some research and everything says its perfectly safe to get one. I, on the otherhand, don't feel like I should have one. Its just a preference for me, not to have injections while pregnant (such as the flu shot). My boss says I can't refuse it. What are your thoughts??

Tb tests are considered safe during pregnancy, therefore if you don't get it your employer could terminate you! I would get it, a tb test is quick and easy and at least you won't have to worry about loosing your job if you refuse it

I work in healthcare and it is completely safe and if your job requires one I would get it!! We actually just had a scare a few months ago with a residents who had TB in the past and after a few days after being in the nursing home started experiencing symptoms again as a pregnant woman it scared me half to death everything worked out but still you never know. So my advice is if you need your job and care about your safety then get it otherwise don't but if its required and you refuse your employer will probably terminate you!
