If a pregnant woman is given a vaccine does the unborn child also gain immunity?

Just kind of popped into my head.

For some, yes. Flu shot and whooping cough vaccines provide some protection to the unborn baby for a period of time after birth (e.g. 6 months). That is part of the reason that pregnant women are encouraged to get those two vaccines while pregnant. Not sure about others.
