Tb? A shot or a test? The test is fine and is commonly given to women to screen for exposure. The shot isn't typically given in the US.

Unless you don't mean Tuberculosis and you mean tetanus (Td)?

It is Tb, but it tests for exposure to tuberculosis and doesn't protect you from it.

It is only a test so it should be fine.

it's subdermal so it is ok, although my Dr said I could wait if I chose to, so I waited, I had it with my other 2 kids since I was afraid one of my patients may have exposed me to tb when I was preg, 6 years ago.
