Government process for applying for medical exemption from COVID-19 vaccination is now live

The Department of Health and Social care have announced that the process for applying for official proof that you’re unable to be vaccinated is now live.

One of the possible reasons for medical exemption listed is if you are ‘a person with severe allergies to all currently available vaccines’

Whilst in the vast majority of cases, people with a history of severe allergies can safely receive a COVID-19 vaccination, for a very small number of people it may not be recommended.

For questions about allergies and COVID-19 vaccination please see our FAQ HERE

Applications can only be made by requesting an NHS COVID Pass medical exemptions application form by phoning 119. If you are eligible, the form will be sent in the post and must then be given to your GP or specialist clinician to complete.
