Repeat COVID infections are becoming more commonplace, with some getting the virus three or even four times. Public health experts say this is due to a new variant, which is spreading quickly.

Dr. Gerald Parker at Texas A&M says the worry is the cumulative effects of catching the virus multiple times. He worries it'll lead to higher cases of what's known as Long COVID. That's where patients struggle with symptoms long after testing negative.

He says this latest variant isn't being stopped by the immunity we get from the shot, or from previous infections.
