Every four years Santa Rosa Junior College employees are required to complete a Tuberculosis Skin Test. Free testing and evaluation is provided by Student Health Services. The skin test is an intradermal injection of a minute amount of purified protein derived from the tubercle bacilli. A positive test creates a reddish, raised area at the site of injection.
Tuberculosis is treatable with antibiotics.
Santa Rosa Junior College employees, whose job classification has been categorized as increased risk for Hepatitis B , will be provided immunization at no cost.
