Is it possible to get rotavirus more than once?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There are several different strains, so children often get rotovirus several times before developing immunity to most of them.

Yes: The first episode does not result in permanent immunity. Repeat episodes tend to be milder. Reinfection can occur at any age.
