The operational guidance on the vaccination of people working or
deployed in care homes has been updated to provide a link to the
procedure to be used by an individual who needs to apply for proof
that they are medically exempt from vaccination.
The first thing to note is that the temporary self-certification
ends on 24 December, so from Christmas Day all those who are
medically exempt will need to verify their status using the NHS
Covid pass.
The individual seeking proof of medical exemption will have to
phone the NHS Covid Pass service on 119 to ask for an NHS Covid
Pass medical exemptions application form. They will then get an
application form by post and will have to return it to their GP or
relevant clinician stated on the form. The application will then be
clinically reviewed by the individual's doctor, specialist or
midwife. The results of the application will be received by post 2
to 3 weeks after applying and if the individual gets a medical
exemption
