For guidance on contraindications or precautions to COVID-19 vaccination, please refer to the Ontario Ministry of Health’s Medical Exemption Guidance (PDF). 

If someone has a medical exemption and wishes to obtain an enhanced vaccine certificate, they must ask an Ontario physician or registered nurse in the extended class to submit the exemption. The exemption must be submitted directly to the public health unit where the issuer’s practice is located.
