No birth control is ever 100%. Only abstinence is.
It is possible. Is it likely? Not really. Should you still be careful, of course.

If your girlfriend is currently taking Depo Provera which is the most common hormonal method using the shot in the United States, the chances are very slim...
Depo Provera has a 99.7% effective rate at preventing pregnancy by preventing the release of the eggs from the ovaries...

Yes, there is always a chance of a birth control device not working properly. Just be sure to use a condom with a spermacide lubricant. It will also prevent any unwanted nastys like aids, or hiv. The shot will not.

We have ranked the effectiveness of different birth control methods based on their typical use rates. Typical use refers to how the average person uses that method of birth control (compared to "perfect" use, which means no mistakes are made in using that method). For a birth control method to be ranked completely effective, no couples will become pregnant while using this method. Very effective means that between 0 and 1 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using this method. Effective means that 2 to 12 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using this method. Moderately effective means that 13 to 20 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using this method. Less effective means that 21 to 40 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using this method. And not effective means that no method of birth control is used.

No method of birth control is 100%. There is still a chance of pregnancy occurring with all birth control methods. You need to also use a condom, and you still will not be guaranteed of absolutely no pregnancy occurring. Unless you are prepared to be a parent, do not take any chances.

My first pregnancy~I was on the pill.
My 2nd pregnancy~I was had the Norplant
My 3rd pregnancy~I was on the shot.
My 4th pregnancy~I was on IUD.
My 5th pregnacy~I was on the patch.
Does that answer your question?
I have found that my tubal worked for me! I strongly recommend you use a condom.
