Health Tests Required for Day Care Providers

[junebugsheri]

What health tests are required for either in-home health care or day care center workers? I know that TB tests are usually required for the school, but are there any other health screenings required?

Thank you,

Utah needs a TB or a chest x-ray if you have HAD TB or had the vaccination and will therefore test positive (like me)

I did day care in the air force in Oklahoma and we had to have a full mental health exam with a shrink before we could be licensed!

Each state seems to have different criteria for everything.

There are no tests required to my knowledge.

Kansas requires a physical and a TB test.

In Nevada we have to have a TB test every 2 years. Every state is diffrent.

In NJ, I needed to get a physical exam and be TB tested before getting hired as a dc asst.
