How do parents pass on the immunity to rubella?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transient at best: A pregnant woman passes antibodies to her baby through the placenta.These antibodies are protective during and for a few months after birth, by disappear. The vaccine is rarely effective if given before a year and at that point brings immunity to 85% with one dose.A second dose brings it up to >95%. Dad passes nothing. Mom's is temporary, vaccination is required for best protection.

I am not immune to rubella. I had my levels checked at the start of my pregnancy. I had the vax in 2007 after the birth of my 1st child because I wasn't immune then either. Apparently my immunity wears off. Do I need to vax again? Baby is 1 month old
Recent MMR titers: Measles- 177.0 Au/ml, Mumps- 55.9 Au/ml, Rubella- 10.9 Au/ml. Was vaccinated as a child and as an adult in my 20's. No plans to revaccinate, just curious if my levels show sufficient immunity?
