The TB tine test, also known as the Tine test or multiple-puncture tuberculin test, is typically given to individuals who are being redeployed in settings where there is a risk of tuberculosis exposure, such as healthcare facilities or high-risk environments. It is important to administer the test as part of the pre-deployment health screening or during the initial stages of deployment to ensure the safety and health of the individual and the community. Depending on the specific guidelines of the organization or military unit, it may also be required annually or before each deployment.
