Extremely rare: There are isolated individuals with immune deficiencies that have had repeated episodes.There is some question if kids who have them below 6 months of age can get them again. In your case i would accept your concern and say you have a better chance to hit the lottery than to get it again.Your prior illness provides antibodies that will protect you if you are exposed.
