Clause 10

If any medical officer or medical practitioner is of the opinion that any child is not in a fit and proper state to be successfully inoculated, he shall without delay deliver to the guardian of such child a certificate under his hand in such form as the Director of Medical Services may prescribe.

Such certificate shall remain in force for a period not exceeding three months and shall be renewable for successive periods not exceeding three months.

At or before the end of each successive period, the guardian shall take or cause the child to be taken to a medical officer or a medical practitioner, who shall then examine the child and inoculate such child or give a further certificate in respect of such child in such form as the Director of Medical Services may prescribe.

Any medical officer or medical practitioner who issues a certificate under this section shall, after the delivery thereof to the guardian, transmit without delay a copy of the same by post or otherwise to the Assistant Director of Medical Services (Health).
