Question: is it permissible for a kindergarten to ask for information about a child's health and immunisation status as early as the child's application for admission (i.e., before admission). You have attached a sample of such an application from your municipality. Obtaining information on the child's health and developmental characteristics, knowledge of which is necessary for the child's safety and work with the child, and on whether the child has been vaccinated, is not appropriate at the stage of submitting an application for enrollment in kindergarten.
