    hi Kevin,

    I asked my friend who is an epidemiologist this question and he said it shouldn't have any more of an effect on mono patients then everyone else. While we feel like our immune system is compromised, it isn't. He told me it would more severely effect ppl who have had chemo treatment, etc who have actually had their immune system reduced.

    hope this helps!
