Hello wonderful nurses!

 

This question was sent along regarding Monkeypox vaccination and I wondered if you all have navigated this one yet. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

 

Do you have any articles about doing a TST in the scapular area instead of the forearm?

 

To my surprise, the CDC Mantoux guide does not address these other sites.
