A member asked:
Can you prevent getting the stomach flu if you have already been exposed to norovirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stomach flu is usually a layman term for viral enteritis, which may be because of multiple other viruses other than norovirus. Norovirus does not even provide full immunity against itself.
