Why do I need a vaccine exemption certificate?
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.
