No, they actually have lifetime immunity after having distemper. They cannot get it again. Unfortunately, the disease causes neurological signs and usually those signs never completely go away. There is nothing you can do about the jaw shaking but it will not cause him any harm. He should be able to live a normal life. You will just need to overlook the shaking.
