There are a lot of different common cold viruses, so catching one doesn't give you immunity for the rest.

Ah! I knew that this was true for the flu, but I always thought there was just a single Common Cold that you could get over and over again. Thanks!

If you look at the Wikipedia article, you will find more detailed information, but the common cold is caused primarily by rhinoviruses. However, some are also coronaviruses and even influenza viruses. There are hundreds of viruses that cause "the cold."

I think you can get most of them again, but not for a few years.
