Creating weird relationships between government programs never seems like a good idea to me. It creates weird incentives, e.g. punishing arbitrary classes of people more if they don't get the vaccine (e.g. blind people are probably more likely to get handouts). It creates weird incentives in law-making, e.g. to increase the number of handouts in order to increase the punishment for not getting the vaccine, or the reverse, and so on. Just make the law say what you want to have happen, "get the vaccine or be fined $$$" (or fined %%% of {income | wealth}, or jail for N days, or so on).
