I require all client's to be fully immunised and have clause in my contract that I will terminate a child who I find out has missed an immunisation.
I understand that those coming from other countries will not have the same immunisation schedule as us if they have one at all, but for me, that's too big a risk. This is my home not just a business. I have the right to exclude anyone for any reason especially at interview stage. I will not take an unimmunised Canadian child and I will not take an unimmunised new comer. I don't care why the child hasn't been immunised, I only care that they aren't immunised and they cannot come here unless they are.
Of course, we cannot force anyone to get their shots and nor should we be able to. Some people haven't had their shots due to other medical issues and it would be dangerous for them if they did get them. That's not my problem though. What is my problem is taking an unimmunized child who might then bring a contagious and avoidable illness into my home where some children might be too young to have had their shots. Likewise pregnant client's would also be exposed. I'm not being responsible for that potential issue.
