What can happen to someone on immunosuppressants like prograf, if hanging around someone with the flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be affected: Your immune system is not as strong while using prograf, so be careful and use social distancing if around someone with the flu. Hand washing after contsact is especially important.
