The federal government's `no jab no pay' policy has prompted thousands of parents who had previously refused to immunise their babies to get them vaccinated.

Social Services Minister Christian Porter says more than 5700 have secured their child care payments by having their children immunised since the campaign started in January.

More than 148,000 children who were not up-to-date with their immunisations are also now meeting the requirements.
