She can't catch it again, at least for a while. Her body will be carrying antibodies to the strain she survived hence she'll kick it in the hindmost before it can do anything to her.

A different strain is a different matter but this outbreak she should be all good.

EDIT: Actually her blood could be used as a potential treatment - she received plasma from a survivor of the strain which contained his antibodies.
