TL;DR

Researchers have found a link between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes mono, and multiple sclerosis (MS). While most people will get EBV at some point, only a small percentage will develop MS. However, researchers believe that developing a vaccine against EBV could make MS a thing of the past. Additionally, antiviral drugs could be developed to help high-risk patients with mono get through the illness faster and safer. Moderna has an EBV vaccine in early-stage trials.
