Middlebury Elementary School

Tuberculosis

New State of Connecticut regulations state that a student may be required to have a TB test under the following circumstances.

  • if a student has traveled to a high-risk country, stayed for at least a week with a substantial contact with a high-risk population,
  • if a student has had substantial contact with someone from a high risk country,
  • if a student has had contact with someone suspected of having TB,
  • if a student had contact with anyone who has been in a homeless shelter, jail, prison, uses illegal drugs, or has an HIV infection.

Before you travel to a country which may present a high risk of TB, you may wish to contact Mrs. Ice, our school nurse, to determine if your child will need to have a TB test before being able to resume their program here at Middlebury Elementary.
