Booster Shot (Covishield)
I had taken both the shots of Covishield, however still contracted Coronavirus two times. In March contracted tuberculosis and have been under ATT since then.
I am taking Akurit 3 along with some multivitamins and Omega 3 capsules. I was also given steroids for a week due to the right pleural effusion which has now been resolved successfully. I am in two minds about the Covid booster Shot. Should I take it or wait till the treatment culminates? Are there any side effects of the booster Shot specifically to tb patients? I am taking very strong medicines under ATT so is it safe to take the vaccine?

Needle Biopsy Risk
I have a soft tissue attenuating lesion 3 cm..
The pet scan for it came Metabolic Active..
So they referred us to oncologist but he denies treatment until we get a biopsy of that particular mass..
They are asking for a biopsy but location of lesion is hard to get so CT scan guided needle biopsy has been said to be done.. but then again the doctor is saying it is very risky and pneumothorax could happen.. and left the decision on us..
Is there any other way out?
I don't understand even for a sample I have to take so much risk? Please help 🙏
