Summary

Set nearly three decades after the Rage Virus outbreak devastated the UK, 28 Years Later follows a family living on an isolated island quarantine. When their 12‑year‑old son Spike joins his father Jamie to venture onto the infected mainland to find a doctor for his ailing mother Isla, they uncover evolved threats—from mutated infected packs to sinister human cults. The film blends visceral horror with emotional resilience and philosophical undertones, culminating in an ambiguous, world-expanding conclusion.

No explanation for the logistics of pregnancy but we have to assume it was the alpha due to the few focused shots of his massive unit.

Note the doctor is able to paralyze them and also made the comment "wondered what would happen" in regards to whether the baby would be infected or not. Found that slightly disturbing.
