Telling parents their children don't qualify for the vaccine is quite another.

So if children qualify for benefits in their own countries, why should our taxpayers support them?

Obviously, no child would qualify to live in that way.

Because the children - all born in this country - qualify to become American citizens, the law does not apply to them.

"In many cases, parents don't know their children could qualify."

Students, children and the elderly qualify for a $2 discount.

In some cases, sibling groups, and older children qualify as "special needs."
