Tuberculosis (TB) Screening
For All Students Born in High Incident Countries

Students from low-incidence countries, as designated by the Oregon State Health Division, are not required to have TB screening. Low-incidence countries per Oregon State Health Division include:
Australia • Austria • Belgium • Canada • Denmark • Finland • France • Germany • Great Britain • Greece • Ireland • Italy • Luxembourg • Netherlands • New Zealand • Norway • Portugal • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland

Students born outside the above countries are at higher risk of being infected with tuberculosis. Tuberculosis skin testing is required for students born outside the low-incidence countries. Any student who has a history of a previous positive TB test should not be retested; these students need to have a chest x-ray. The student will need to bring a copy of the x-ray report or physician documentation of treatment for TB.

Students should complete the Tuberculosis Screening Documentation Form if they were born in a high incident country and submit with the Immunization Form to Corban University.
