Yes: There are various viral,bacterial and fungal causes of meningitis. You do not develop immunity to all forms because you had one, and may not develop any immunity to any strain depending on the specific germ.There are vaccines that can help people develop some immunity, which you may want to look into if your life involves a lot of people contact.
