Yes, she can still catch COVID, but being vaxxed and boosted she most likely not have any life threatening issues.

Anyone can get COVID after a booster but the symptoms will be mild unless there is underlying medical problems. Immune system is active and attentive to new infection.

What if you get covid a few days after bivalent booster? Do you need to get another booster or will your immune system still make a good response from the vax (even tho it hasnt been 2 wks post vax) while its also fighting active covid infection?
