Yes. The TB Technical Instructions require medical screening for all immigrants, including children. Immigration law states that children from other countries who are being adopted by U.S. citizens are applying for U.S. entry as immigrants. Therefore, these children must undergo medical examination, according to CDC’s TB Technical Instructions. This includes the required immigrant TB screening.
