Rtpcr would be best. Consult for treatment even with an awaited report treatment should be started.
Yes it does provide some level of immunity but is not 100% protective.

She can have covid again. One dose doesn't provide complete protection from this virus . Kindly get her tested with an RT PCR and stay in touch with a doctor.
