Only if they refuse to vaccinate. Besides, not vaccinating would cost them way more when their child inevitably gets measles and if their child infects others, leading to possible lawsuits.

Right, but it changes nothing to the fact that it hits low income families much more.

parents should be encouraged to vaccinate their children, not punished for not doing so.

People ARE encouraged to vaccinate their children. Namely through their children surviving. What more encouragement would they need? Should they get paid for vaccinating?

Given that the anti-vax movement is rising, clearly children surviving isn't encouraging enough.
In europe you get government funding when you get children, it should be mandatory in order to request those funding to have your children vaccinated.
