Simply because their bodies haven't been exposed to illnesses or viruses etc. The body needs to actually 'catch' an illness for their immune system to develop anti-bodies. Childhood vaccinations give the body a weak version of the virus they're being protected against - so the body makes antibodies to fight it.
