Answer 1

You had a cold once. You were sick and the virus reaked havoc but eventually you recovered and your body destroyed the virus. You are now “cold free” (free of the cold virus inside of the body).

There isn’t a shot or a pill you can take to prevent the cold ever coming back. (No cure)
It’s possible you can get the cold again.
