question on RFE

[Few_Months_ToGo]

My wife received RFE to take a chest Xray because the skin test came +ve of equal to or greater than 5mm for TB. The doctor who then did the test didnt say anything about the Xray. Anyhow we took the Xray now.
The problem is my wife was pregnant at the time of the medical exam and didnt get any immunization. She didnt get the RFE for immunization now.
My question is is it better to get her immunized now although tha INS has not asked for it or just get the Xray?
Thank you

Are you sure that your wife never got vacinated against TB? Typically, people that are vacinated show a mild positive reaction at the skin test, but this is just because their immune system has antibodies due to the vacination. If your wife is not vacinated but shows a positive skin test then this would mean that she could be infected! I would check with her parents, most likely she was vacinated early in her life and has still a few antibodies floating around in her immune system. Just my two cents - I am not a doctor (but my sister is).
