I've read the info in the Red Book, CDC info.  It sounds like some immunity
is life long, but if rebitten a booster is given.  Also in US if bitten you
receive 2 different kinds of vaccine, active and passive immunization.  One
is for immediate prevention and the other is for future protection (I
think).  If mom is getting active and passive protection, I just don't see
how baby will get rabies.  Wouldn't baby only be theoretically exposed if
vaccine doesn't work and mom becomes infected?  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
