Oh wow. Did not know that! DH still hasn't gotten his. I forgot to ask the doctor where to get it. You'd think a doctor or the hospital would have mentioned that! Does the one that us moms will be getting work the same way - not fully effective until the baby is a month old? Seems a little weird.
It'll be fine. What they're saying is that there is a chance of catching it. What they aren't saying, is that it's greatly reduced every day that goes by.
If you go to official websites they say 2 weeks. My dad was also told it would take 1 month, but my mom wasn't told anything. Even at full strength it's not full protection so you still want to be smart, and as a PP said every day that passes the protection gets better! :-D
