I'm being given both the rubella and whooping cough vaccine at 36weeks so apparently it has time to pass the placenta and give bub some immunity before his/her own vaccines.
So I guess its something I need to look at IF we do ever consider another pregnancy and it actualy happens! My concern then is that I had boosters before TTC and I had low immunity by the time I actually got pregnant! I do like the idea of just the stand alone vax though. I'm also pleased to see I'm not the only one who doesnt get very good immunity!!! I've had those boosters and had rubella as a child

I'm another who can't maintain an immunity to rubella - I had MMR boosters after both DS1 and DS2 were born, and I STILL have no flippin' immunity according to blood tests earlier in this pregnancy. I'm opting not to have another MMR booster - I'm not planning another pregnancy (DH going to have a vasectomy soon-ish, I think/hope), so I can't see the point. Just my thoughts on my situation though
