Required vaccines are vaccines that a country requires the traveler have proof of prior to entering the country.

It is important to meet with a Travel Medicine Specialist prior to having travel vaccines for several reasons.  Even if you believe you already know what vaccines you need for travel, the consultation will provide you with health advice tailored to your specific itinerary details.  In addition to vaccines, there may be prescriptions recommended for your itinerary and these can be prescribed during the same visit.  Many vaccines are not 100% preventative and this is why discussing food and water precautions, insect precautions, and other safety concerns are such an important aspect of pre-travel preparation.

A ppd or tb skin test is the standard method for detecting Tuberculosis infection.  PPD stands for purified protein derivative.  The test requires two visits to the office.  The first entails having a small shot in the top layer of skin in the forearm that contains ppd.  This causes a small bump to form that usually goes away in a few hours.  The second visit is in 48-72 hours, where a health care professional will check the areas to see if you have had a significant reaction to the test.

The difference between a one-step and a two-step ppd is that the one step includes having the test administered and then read in 48-72 hours.  If a two-step is necessary, you will need to return no earlier than 7 days after having the first test administered and repeat the same process (administration and read) again.

The answer is typically no.  e7 Health utilizes a medical review officer (MRO) for review and verification of all drug tests. On all positive drug tests, the MRO contacts the donor who provided the specimen to discuss the positive result and any medication you may be taking.  The MRO will verify your prescription with your pharmacy or prescribing doctor and then report your drug test result back out your employer as a negative drug test result. The MRO acts as an independent and impartial “gatekeeper” and advocate for the accuracy and integrity of the drug testing process.

Nevada has a law that permits medical marijuana use.  However, the law does not require employers to accommodate the use of medical marijuana in the workplace.  Many companies have addressed medical marijuana in their drug free workplace policies and have a provision that the use of marijuana is prohibited if the employee chooses to work for that particular company.  For DOT companies this is Federal law, medical marijuana is not recognized.  You should consult an attorney to advise whether you should inform your employer if you are registered with the Nevada Medical Marijuana Program.  Employers should review their drug free workplace program and address medical marijuana in their policy.

• Hair drug testing – A sample of 1.5 inches of hair will detect drugs up to 90 days earlier, but not the first 7 – 10 days after usage. Hair drug testing has the longest detection window.
• Urine drug testing – Urine, because it is a metabolite, will detect drugs for a slightly longer period than oral fluid. With urine drug testing, most drugs can be found for 1 – 4 days after the last dose.

In addition the hair drug test is harder to cheat on as these are gender specific direct observation drug tests every time.
