Is it normal to get strep throat at the same time every year?

Strep is seasonal: Streptococcal throat infections occur more commonly in colder months/seasons. So naturally, one will catch them more frequently in those months.

Happens: There seems to be some seaonality to strep and no lifelong immunity after infection.Thus your scenario does happen.
