I see no contraindications for receiving the vaccine if you have Epstein-Barr. My first thoughts are that since you may have a slightly compromised immune system due to EB, then the flu shot would be a good idea. Let's not confuse this with Guillaine-Barre which IS contraindicated for the flu shot. Before you do anything, my advice is to check with your doctor.
