Australia to issue monthly fines to parents who don't vaccinate children
Australia has strengthened its “no jab, no pay” policy by issuing further financial sanctions to parents who refuse to vaccinate their children.
Parents will now lose A$28 (£16) a fortnight from their tax benefits for each child not up to date with their immunisations.
Previously, parents whose children were not up to date with vaccinations would lose an end of year payment to their family tax benefit, worth A$737.
