Yes that's right. The baby gets antibodies in utero if the mother has either the illness itself or the vaccine in pregnancy. I haven't found anything definite on how long the protection lasts, but believe it is several months, and last even longer if you also breastfeed.

They'll do it as long as you haven't got a high temperature.
