Booster Shot
I have Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis and I am taking Akurit4 tablets to treat TB. I am due for the booster Shot, wanted to decide whether it's safe to get it while being treated for TB? My immunity is already down due to tb treatment and the covisheild booster Shot shall further bring down my immunity, for how long should I not step out of the house to keep myself safe from infection? Also, as I have a temperature on and off of about 101.1 while being on ATT.. will this booster Shot further worsen my body temperature?
