Not unless the virus mutates, Once you have had the virus, your body will create antibodies, so when you next come into contact with it, your body will recognize it and be able to stop you from getting it.

At this stage, it is impossible to predict if or how the H1N1 swine flu virus will mutate. However, going by the bird flu vaccine, it would suggest that an H1N1 vaccine would also provide a high level of immunity against closely related strains. The level of cross-protection is expected to be greatest for more closely related strains.



Nope, it's a virus, and after the first time you'll have antibodies that will know how to fight it.
