thats interesting. but then again .. when you do get these diseases you have to take medicines to stop the fever and such whereas if you inject the embryo you go through the possibility that its immune system wont be able to fight it since they dont have an active one.

no, because embryos don't have fully developed organs and even their immune system can not function properly, it might do the fetus harm than good

well an embryo doesnt have developed organs for the vaccine to be effective
