Vaccine exemption certificates are intended for individuals who cannot receive vaccines for a number of medical reasons, but may still require access to services; locations, or even jobs that require proof of vaccination.
This type of certificate aims to stop vaccine exempt people from being discriminated against or excluded from a number of activities that otherwise require a full vaccination course.
Upload by 9pm for same-day service. This should be a 30 second – 1 minute video + your digital health summary or a doctor’s letter confirming one of the exemption medical criteria.
Our doctors will look over the evidence you provide.
You’ll receive an email with your letter, with a QR code so they can be verified and accepted worldwide.
A number of countries in Africa, and central and South America, have high numbers of yellow fever infections, and for this reason it is important to either protect yourself from the virus with a yellow fever vaccine or, if this is not possible for medical reasons, then you must carry a yellow fever vaccine exemption certificate before travelling to one of these countries.
To allow us to assess your condition and issue a medical certificate, we will require the following information:
A photo of your passport or driving license
Your digital Summary Care Record or a doctor’s letter confirming the medical reason for exemption
Your completed online medical form
Details of your regular NHS GP (if you have one)
