MMR Vaccination

in 1st Trimester
I found out I no longer have an immunity to rubella at my last appointment. Rubella carries all sorts of dangerous/fatal risks to an unborn baby, but it very unlikely I would catch it as rubella is practically unheard of in the U.S. anymore. My question is: I was going to send my husband to get a booster of his MMR, and my daughter is due to get her second round of MMR in a few months. Does anyone know if you can contract it from someone else's recent vaccination? I do have a call into my doctor, so I'll have an official answer sometime today, but I was wondering if anyone had this issue, too.

    You can't catch a virus that's dead.

    I though MMR was a live but weakened virus?

    Either way OP you're fine.

    It is a weakened virus but their vaccinations pose no threat to you.

    Yeah, it is actually a live virus, just weaker. I felt totally confident it wasn't "catchable", but then my children's babysitter questioned it and I talked myself into worrying. :) Thanks everyone!

    It's not name calling when it's accurate.

    Go ahead and flag me then. You're right. I shouldn't have called you that. I may think it, but I shouldn't have responded disrespectfully.

    I think you were rude, and I think you know you were rude, and now you're trying to say "what? I offered legit advice". Maybe phrased a different way, I would have taken it seriously, but it's honestly disheartening to get such a flippant sarcastic remark, especially after the nice ones that were actually helpful. You offered nothing helpful. And I've seen your responses on other posts, so I know this is your M.O., but it's still uncool. You think a post is dumb? Don't answer it. I've been on these boards three times in the last four years, so I know being snarky can sometimes be the cool thing to do and a way to get a laugh. But a snarky response and a rude response are really just two different things.

    @ashy22lou‌ , you need to chill the fuck out. @WhoCanItBeNow‌ is 100% right, your babysitter is clueless and not the person to be getting info from. Whether the virus is dead or weakened it doesn't matter, you won't make other people sick.

    I'm really not here to start a fight, or egg one on. I apologize for my rudeness @WhoCanItBeNow.

    Sidenote: @WashingtonQueen, your daughter's headband is darling.
