No, if you have it you will be immune to it after that. However, viruses are able to mutate to slightly different strains rapidly. If that happens and you are exposed, you may still have some immunity, but you may not, in which case you could get the flu from a similar but different form of the virus.

How many different flu virus strains are there?
The truth is, no one really knows. Flu strains are mutating all of the time. Each time a flu strain mutates to act in a different way, it is given another name (if we actually discover it and can recognize that it is different). The other problem is discovery. Often, different strains act in the same way. Therefore, it isn't really important to distinguish between strains. Only strains that seem to 1) be popular in the next flu season or 2) pose a great threat to humans are actually identified.
