Yup, it's apparently possible to get the flu twice in one season

Flu me once, shame on you, whoever you are that got me sick. Flu me twice -- wait, is that even possible?

Yes, experts tell LiveScience you can, in fact, get the flu twice in a single season.

The flu has various strains, and even if you’ve come down with one, it’s fairly rare, but you’re still potentially susceptible to the others.

And unlike Pokemon, you really don’t wanna catch ‘em all. So here’s how to avoid it: if you’ve already had the flu but still haven’t gotten the flu vaccine, it’s recommended you do so.

The seasonal shots contain three or four of the strains to cover most of your bases.

And that’s probably a good idea. In the last week of January, the CDC recorded the highest level of people getting checked out for a flu-like illness since the swine flu pandemic in ’09.

I don’t like those odds. Unless you’re up for a game of Russian flu-lette, make sure you’re taking care of yourself this winter.
