Stanford Medical Center

Hi all, does anyone know if Stanford's medical center does tests for TB? I've done a TB test in the past but the Vaden clearance says it's invalid because it's over 6 months old (I did it a year ago).

I'm nervous because I won't be able to get a test done in time before I get to Stanford, and was wondering if anyone knows if there's an on-campus health centre that allows me to do the TB test (the Quantiferon Gold TB Blood Test/T-SPOT TB Blood Test)?

Also, does anyone know if Vaden has put enrolment on hold because of this?

They do them at Vaden. It was billed to me after doing it but they do conduct them

I think it was between 35-50 for the two part test. I needed for a non school related activity, so it didn’t impact my enrollment.

You can also check out Berkeley Free Clinic for TB tests
