CalWORKs Reduces Aid for Families With Unvaccinated, Under-Immunized Children
CalWORKs, California's welfare program, has started reducing cash aid for families who do not keep their children's vaccinations updated. Under the effort to increase vaccination rates, benefits will be restored when parents provide paperwork showing their kids are up to date with their vaccines.
