Tetanus Immunity Transferable  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
NPR did a story about eradicating tetanus and the claim was that a mother who received 3 vaccination could pass immunity on to her children. I have NEVER heard of this claim. I could not find the NPR piece but I did find a link here.

is this true?

"A woman, who receives a course of three vaccines, at a cost of less than two dollars, can pass on immunity to her unborn child and save his or her life."
