THE ORDINANCES OF HONGKONG: [A.D. 1890.
required by the Registrar General) shall cause the child to be vaccinated by a medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator.
(2.) Such medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator shall, on personal inspection of the successful vaccination of the child, furnish the parent or guardian with a certificate of the successful vaccination of the child in the Form No. 1 in the Schedule to this Ordinance, and the parent or guardian shall, within seven days after the date thereof, lodge the certificate with the Registrar General, who shall preserve the same.
7.-(1.) If any medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator is of opinion that any child is not a fit and proper subject to be successfully vaccinated, he shall thereupon deliver to the parent or guardian of the child a certificate, in the Form No. 2 in the Schedule to this Ordinance, that the child is unfit for successful vaccination, and such certificate shall remain in force for two months from its delivery as aforesaid.
(2.) If the child is not successfully vaccinated at the termination of such period of two months, then the certificate, on the application of the parent or guardian, shall be renewed by a medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator during each succeeding period of two months until the child has been successfully vaccinated; and the renewal shall be indorsed on the certificate and dated as of the date of such renewal, and shall be signed by the medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator granting the further certificate.
(3.) The production of such certificate of unfitness for successful vaccination shall be a sufficient defence against any complaint which may be brought against the parent or guardian for non-compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance in respect of the non-vaccination of the child.
(4.) It shall be lawful for the Governor to appoint some medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator whose duty it shall be to examine gratuitously children on whose behalf are claimed certificates of unfitness for successful vaccination under this section, and to grant or withhold such certificates in his discretion.
8. Every certificate granted under the last preceding section shall, on the granting and on any renewal thereof, be brought within seven days for registration by the parent or guardian of the child to the Registrar General, and he shall enter the particulars of the same in a book to be kept by him for that purpose.
9. If any medical practitioner or Public Vaccinator finds that a child whom he has three times unsuccessfully vaccinated is insusceptible of successful vaccination, or that a child brought to him for vaccination has already had the small-pox, he shall deliver to the parent or guardian of the child a certificate in the Form No. 3 in the Schedule to this Ordinance.
