Yes, it is most definitely possible for them to contract parvo again, natural immunity is very unpredictable as the virus attacks the immune system during the disease hence reducing the chance of developing strong, lasting protection. Pups should be vaccinated at 6-8, 10-12 and again at 16weeks in areas of high infection risk and again 6-12months later then every 3 years in order to maintain a high level of immunity. Avoid areas visited by other dogs such as parks, sidewalks etc until after the third vaccine as the virus can survive in fecal contamination for up to 3months.
