Section 50

If any medical practitioner is of the opinion that any person is not fit to be vaccinated, the medical practitioner must immediately deliver to that person or, in the case of a child, to the parent or guardian of the child an exemption certificate in such form as the Director may require.

Such exemption certificate remains in force for such period as may be specified therein.

Before the expiry of the exemption certificate the person must go, or the parent or guardian of the child must take or cause the child to be taken, to a medical practitioner who must then examine and vaccinate the person or child or give a further exemption certificate in respect of that person or child in such form as the Director may require.

Any medical practitioner who issues an exemption certificate under this section must, within the prescribed time and in such form or manner as the Director may require, notify the Director or an officer of the Board who is designated by the Director for the purpose.
