Does my child need to be immunised?
The Munro Centre policy states that we will only accept children who are fully immunised, on a catch‐up immunisation schedule or if they have a medical contraindication or natural immunity (which is certified by a General Practitioner). On enrolment, parents must provide an immunisation history statement showing that their child’s immunisation status is up to date before the service is able to accept the enrolment.
