Can a child catch rsv more than once?

Yes, a child can catch respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) more than once. RSV infections do not provide lifelong immunity, and while many children may develop some level of immunity after their first infection, it is not complete. Subsequent infections can occur, especially in different RSV seasons or as the virus evolves. Reinfections are generally milder than the first, but they can still pose risks, particularly for infants and those with underlying health conditions.
