The DC Universal Health Certificate contains a section regarding risk assessment for tuberculosis (TB). Many children do not require the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) for TB.

Your doctor should conduct a tuberculosis exposure risk assessment first, and only administer the TST if indicated in accordance with American Association of Pediatrics Guidelines. If your child does not need a TST, the doctor may simply check the low risk box and initial the form there, in addition to signing at the bottom.
