Refugee and Immigrant Health
TBC has primary responsibility for screening all refugees entering LAC. The two Refugee Health Program teams provide general health screenings, TB testing, immunizations, and medical referrals. In addition to refugee screening, TBC also has the responsibility to follow up with all immigrants (Class A or B) entering LAC who are diagnosed with TB disease prior to entering the United States . Processing of Class A/B TB alien referrals is outlined in Chapter Eight of the TB Control Manual.
