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!
