To ask about unvaxxed niece and nephew visiting newborn?

I'm due to have a baby in the next week or so, and it's just occurred to me that my niece and nephew (15 and 13yo) are not vaccinated for most things. They didn't have any of the routine schedule as their mum is strongly antivax, but now that my db and her are divorced and db has sole custody, he is slowly looking into them catching up. They have had their covid jabs but that's it, nothing else yet. So there really isn't time to get them vaccinated before baby comes.

Is it risky to have them come and cuddle the baby etc when they haven't been vaccinated? I'm thinking of the ones like measles mumps and rubella where we rely on herd immunity for the early stages of baby's life.

Yabu - let them come
Yanbu - it's too risky

children or adults cannot pass on what they don’t have so unless they are poorly it makes nil sense to stop them .
your baby will have enough immunity from breastfeeding anyway that he will be fine around most people .
