Hello Doctor. I am currently in 07th month on Extra pulmonary Tuberculosis treatment (Pericarditis). I have got both the COVID 19 doses and one month has passed. As i am still under treatment which might last another month, is it okay for me to get Influenza Vaccination. I am outside India in a cold weather country (Chile) Can influenza vaccine impact the treatment?? Seek your advice Regards

First question is that is it the season to take a flu vaccine as per the local strain season? Generally the strain changes every year. I won't recommend to take the shot right now .
