Yes, it is possible to get pertussis (whooping cough) more than once. While infection typically provides some immunity, this immunity can wane over time, making individuals susceptible to reinfection. Additionally, different strains of the bacteria Bordetella pertussis can lead to new infections. Vaccination can help reduce the risk but does not provide 100% immunity.
