A NOTICE ON THE SUBJECT OF VACCINATION.
Notice is hereby given that, as The Vaccination Ordinance, 1890, has been in force since the 1st October, the parent or guardian of every child must according to law cause such child to be vaccinated, if such child be six months or more than six months old, by a Medical Practitioner or Public Vacci- nator. After the vaccination has been successfully carried out, a certificate has to be granted by the Vaccinator, and that certificate must be lodged at the Registrar General's Office within seven days after the vaccination. If a child is unfit for vaccination, a certificate to that effect must be obtained from a Medical Practitioner, and produced for record at the Registrar General's Office, and such certi- ficate must be renewed every two months until the vaccination has been successfully completed.
All persons who do not comply with this law shall be duly notified, and if within one month after the receipt of the notice they do not act in accordance with it, and do not produce any of the certificates required by law, they shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five dollars ($5); and if they then refuse to cause their child to be vaccinated, they shall forfeit a sum not exceeding fifty dollars ($50): Provided always that no parent or guardian shall be liable to any penalty or punishment for not having his child vaccinated at any time between the 1st May and the 30th of September in any year, both days
inclusive.
The persons who are allowed by law to vaccinate are Medical Practitioners, that is, all doctors who have been registered under the Medical Registration Ordinance, and Public Vaccinators,—that is, persons authorized and appointed by the Governor under the provisions of the Vaccination Ordinance for the special purpose of vaccination.
