CHARBONNEAU – ‘No jab, no pay’ vaccination law won’t work in Canada

AUSTRALIA HAS A BLUNT WAY of getting parents to vaccinate their children called “No Jab, No Pay.”

As the name suggests, parents don’t receive welfare payments, tax benefits, and child-care rebates if they don’t vaccinate their children. It can amount to $15,000 annually.

Not only do parents lose payments but unvaccinated children can be barred from daycare and schools during disease outbreaks. Daycares that allow unvaccinated children can be fined up to $30,000.
