2022 Data Deadlines
Final TB Case Data Deadline: February 25, 2022
Based on the CDC deadlines for the 2021 Annual Surveillance Report, please enter the following TB case data for your jurisdiction into WDRS by February 25, 2022:
- RVCT ‘initial report’ and ‘follow-up report 1’ data for all 2021 cases
- All RVCT data (including ‘follow-up report 2’) for all 2019 and prior cases
In an effort to support this data cleanup, State TB epidemiologist staff will be reaching out to share line lists with specific requests.
Contact Investigation Data
Each year, DOH sends contact investigation aggregate reports to CDC. State TB staff are currently reaching out to our LHJ partners regarding their TB contact investigation data to clarify connections between cases and contacts in WDRS, testing results, final disposition, and treatment details. Please work to complete these requests by February 28, 2022.
Class B TB Data (For LHJs with arrivers in 2021)
As part of year-end reporting efforts, State TB epidemiologist staff will be reaching out this month to clarify any data-related questions regarding Class B TB arrivers.
If you will be unable to submit data by the deadlines, please contact us right away at TBServices@doh.wa.gov to discuss how we can assist. Thank you for your partnership in these annual data cleaning efforts!
