I'm really worried about my son. He got tested positive for TB a couple of months back. He had a cough and fever then, and hes also been dealing with asthma and diarrhea for about two months. So, the doctor said its TB, IBD, and asthma, and hes on medication for all of it. Just last week, he had a mild fever and dry cough again, and now he's positive for COVID. I'm really confused about when he'll be eligible for the COVID vaccine and if it's safe for him to go back to school without it. Can you advise on what steps we should take next?
