Sure, but they receive some passive immunity from the mother. Not all immunity is perfect though. There also is a reduced response to vaccination before the maternal antibodies are cleared. Once the maternal antibodies are cleared, the infant no longer has any protection, thus the need for vaccination.


Interesting. How long is a vaccination effective?

It depends. Some result in practically lifelong immunity. Others have various lifespans.

For example, tetanus requires a 10 year booster.
