Can you get the same flu again My whole family is sick and I want to know if we can pass it back forth or will be gone once each have once?

Yes, it is possible to get the same flu more than once. The influenza virus is constantly evolving, with new strains emerging every year. This means that even if you have been vaccinated or have had the flu before, you can still get sick again.

The exact amount of time between being able to be infected again varies depending on the strain of influenza, but it is generally thought to be about 3 months. This means that it is possible to get the flu twice in the same season if the strains are different.

There are some things you can do to reduce your risk of catching the flu again, such as:

- Getting vaccinated every year

- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick

- Washing your hands frequently

- Covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze

- Staying home from work or school if you are sick

If you do get sick with the flu, it is important to stay home from work or school until you are fever-free for at least 24 hours. This will help to prevent you from spreading the virus to others.
