Well an investigation doesn't necessarily lead to removal of children from the household. The refusal of vaccination would be a trigger, not a be all end all. There is a long and complicated process to remove children from a household.
What I toyed with proposing was CPS administer the vaccine regardless of the parental consent. If the vaccination was mandatory then parental consent is a non-issue.
