It means that most likely she will never get it. And if she does, it will be a much lighter case

I was very weary about getting my son the chicken pox vaccine. I figured it would just be best for him to get the chicken pox while he was really young and that way he wouldn't have to worry about it when he was older. I also had a fear of him getting the vaccine and then getting the chicken pox when he is much older (the older they are, the more dangerous it becomes possibly causing infertility and even death) My sons pediatrician said that they now give the vaccine in a round of 3 and it makes it VERY unlikely that they will ever develop the chicken pox. She also said that since most children are getting the vaccine, that odds of a child contracting chicken pox from another child is also very unlikely.

It's unlikely but still very possible. I have friends whose kids had been vacinated and ended up that all THREE of her kids got chicken pox, luckily they were all under 6 though, so it wasn't very bad.
