No vaccinations - no money. Radically? Maybe yes. Effectively? Now we'll see. In our country, as you know, you can simply give up on creating collective immunity, on all medical recommendations and simply refuse vaccinations to the child. No reproaches and punishments for this will not follow. The arguments of opponents of vaccination are weighty. Not too scientific, but none the less. "Refuseniks" actively agitate for their position. This is also not forbidden. But doctors are frightened that more and more young mothers listen to them. Possible side effects "here and now" scare them more than hypothetical infections "sweat". But what threatens to refuse vaccinations, has already shown in its sad example Romania - there was recently recorded the largest outbreak of measles.

Since the beginning of 2016, in some regions of the country, the following rule has been in effect: no vaccinations (except for situations for medical reasons) - no money. More precisely, payments that are due to families with children. And this, by the way, is up to 15 thousand Australian dollars a year (about 670 thousand rubles). Two cities were chosen for the experiment - Adelaide and Gold Coast. It was here that the highest percentage of vaccination refusals was recorded. And local officials did not diverge from their words and deeds. Since the beginning of the vaccination campaign, more than 140 thousand families with children under five have lost payments. So, it turned out that it works. In the battle of wallet and principles, the wallet confidently won. According to health officials, 200,000 more children were vaccinated in 2016 than the year before. “That’s good news, but we still have a lot to do,” the country’s Health Minister Greg Hunt is quoted as saying. “And we will continue this tough policy because it’s about public health and the safety of our beautiful children.”
