I'm currently undergoing treatment for TB lymph nodes, and I've been on the medication for about 10 months now. I've got about 2 months left to complete the course. I'm really anxious about whether it's okay to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on my TB meds. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm a bit worried because my cat just scratched me on the leg and it broke the skin. This isn't the first time it's happened with the same cat, and now I'm reading about this Cat Scratch Disease. It doesn't hurt right now, but I'm really concerned it might turn into something serious. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should watch out for?
Cat Scratch Disease is usually a mild illness that resolves on its own. However, it's important to keep an eye on any symptoms that may develop, such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, fatigue, or a rash. To reduce the risk of infection, you can clean the scratch with soap and water, apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a bandage. If you develop any concerning symptoms, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen and consult with a doctor.

I'm dealing with Malaria Plasmodium Falciparum again, the second time in just two months, and now it's turning into a bit of a malaria problem. On top of that, I've got Salmonella Typhoid with OD 1320, Salm. Typh. OA 1160, Salm. Ptyph. OB 1160, and Salm. Typh. HD 1160. My lymphocyte count is really low, at just 3.0, with the reference being 2040. Is taking Ciproflaxin 500mg twice a day for 7 days going to be enough for this? I live in Nigeria, so this is quite a concern for me. Would really appreciate any advice.
