It was my understanding, after attending a seminar conducted by a veterinary researcher at...(OSU or OU, don't remember which) that no vaccine can prevent a disease 100%. It prevents MOST of the time (and also can reduce the severity of the disease if it doesn't prevent it) but sometimes for varied reasons it just doesn't.
So the fact that a dog gets parvo doesn't in itself mean that the shot wasn't given. Of course, I don't know anything about your case in particular, just mentioning this because it seems many people mistakenly believe that vaccines will always prevent disease. They don't, just as they don't in humans.
