A member asked:

If someone had rubella which means now they're immune to it, will they pass on the immunity to their children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not long term: A female who had rubella or the vaccine will develop antibodies that are protective against future infections.During any pregnancy the female would pass some of these antibodies along to the baby and they would provide transient ( months) of protection.That or any other child would need the vaccine to develop long term immunity.
