Yes. Parvo is a virus, like the flu, there are many strains of it. They won't get the same train again, but they can get another strain of parvo later in life.

It used to be believed that it just involved 1 strain of Parvo. But now they are seeing many. It could be that the viruses have mutated.

My 4H group went on a field trip a couple years ago to one of our local vet schools.
