What I have so far :
Changes in Health and Human Services
For Children of Low-Income Families
Health and Human Services have changed over the years in order to meet the needs of the changing environment and population. The system has changed for children in-low income families. One of the major changes is vaccinations.
Childhood vaccinations are important to help shield children from serious illness. Over the years there have been improvements made to help ensure that children of low income- families are able to get the vaccinations need to help keep them healthy. Vaccinations are a very important part of a child’s life it helps to protect them against different diseases such as measles mumps and rubella.
One of the improvements made is The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) which is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost for children who might not otherwise be vaccinated. VFC was created in 1993 as a new entitlement program to be a required part of each state’s Medicaid plan.
Your paper is good — nice and focused.
If you need to include an in-text citation, be sure to check either the APA or MLA link I gave you and click on in-text citations for directions. Generally, URLs are included in the bibliography/works cited list, but are not included in the in-text citation.
Corrections needed:
"for children in-low income families" ~~> for children in low-income families
"children of low income- families" ~~> children of low-income families
"to get the vaccinations need" ~~> ??
"Vaccinations are a very important part of a child’s life it helps to protect them against different diseases such as measles mumps and rubella." = run-on & series; how will you fix these?
