父母面临的时间限制可能会影响婴儿是否按时接种疫苗。利用全国免疫调查，我们采用综合控制差中差估计技术来建立加利福尼亚州实施带薪育儿假计划作为自然实验所产生的因果关系。我们发现，加州带薪家庭假政策实施后，加州父母所生的孩子的晚期疫苗接种减少了5个百分点，约为10%。此外，该政策对贫困线以下家庭的影响更大。因此，获得带薪家庭假可以改善婴儿的准时免疫接种。(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Time constraints parents face can affect whether infant children are vaccinated on time. Using the National Immunization Survey, we employ a synthetic control difference-in-difference estimation technique to establish a causal relationship arising from California's implementation of Paid Parental Leave Program as a natural experiment. We find California Paid Family Leave reduced late vaccinations by up to 5 percentage points or approximately 10% for children born to parents in California after the policy was implemented. Further, the policy had a stronger impact on families below the poverty line. Thus access to paid family leave can improve on-time immunization of infants.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
