I'm a bit worried because my ultrasound shows there's fluid in my lungs indicating a chest infection, but my blood report came back normal. Also, last week my Hba1c level was reported at 7.1. What could this mean for my overall health, and should I be concerned about these results in combination?

I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?

can take
