Should you get the flu shot if you have mono?

Typically, if you have a fever or any other sign of infection you should not get the flu shot. Wait until you are fever free [without using fever reducing medication]. Ask the doctor treating the mono what he recommends about the flu. I have had mono for the last three months, I was just starting to recover when my doctor gave me a flu shot. By the next day I was so sick I had to be driven home from work, still sick. Don't do it!

How does the flu shot affect a CIDP patient?

I have been recently diagnosed with CIDP. I have refused flu shots for the past 10 years because when I would get them I would get sick from the shot then violently ill from the flu later on.

No. The flu shot contains either weakened or dead virus particles that can not make you sick or contagious. They act to trigger your immune system to make the right cells to destroy that type of virus. The immune system is "tricked" into doing it, it doesn't do it because you are actually sick.

How long must a person be free of cold and flu symptoms before getting a flu shot?

While a flu shot will not be effective against any active flu symptoms it will protect against the other flu strains contain in the shot. Flu symptoms such as high fevers, upper respiratory problems should be controlled but the flu virus in a shot is a 'dead' non-active virus and should not affect or cause any current virus.
