They want to draw blood to test for rubella and varicella (Chicken Pox).
I can show documentation that I've had 2 measles, mumps, rubella vaccines. I know that I had the chicken pox as a child, but I don't have any documentation on it.
Then, they want to do a 2 step TB test. I had a TB test done in 1984, but I'm assuming it's too old.
They said I can waive Hep B.
As much as you dont want to get needles, I dont think its a good idea to waive hep B  This is one of those viruses that can live on surfaces for a good amount of time and if you get it, there is no cure. People who have hep B get very sick, not right away but eventually they do.
