SOCIAL SCIENCE POLICY ANALYSISIntroduction This study deals with a policy area such as No Jab No Pay that had been implementedunder Social Services Legislation Amendment Act 2015 and started with the operations from 1stof January 2016. No Jab No Pay policy had been properly explained in the current segment bymentioning both positive and negative points in detail (Yang & Studdert, 2017). The presentsegment explains the political factors, economical factors, social factors and historical factors ofthese policy areas. No Jab No Pay Act removes the right of the parents that become bothconscientious as well as religious objectors of vaccination for getting specific refund or benefits.This policy had been implemented by Government so that every individual vaccines againstrubella, mumps and measles that are inaccessible and even here the natural community will bedisabled as it combines targets of Schedule vaccine. In this particular assignment, properemphasis had been given on policy areas of No Jab No Pay. Furthermore, immunization inAustralia is not compulsory as it need not to be contentious.
