If she has had a full course of vaccinations at the correct intervals, she should be okay around unvaccinated dogs, however, to be safe, if there is a choice, I would not allow her to spend a lot of time in close contact with them. Vaccinations are excellent at preventing disease, but no vaccination is 100 percent effective.
