Temporary Self-certification Introduced For Care Workers Who Are Medically Exempt From Vaccination

There is a self-certification form for people with medical exemptions which can be used on a temporary basis prior to the launch of the NHS COVID Pass system. Once the system has been launched a formal medical exemption will need to be applied for and any self-certification will expire after 12 weeks. Individuals who have received a Covid-19 vaccination abroad can self-certify as medically exempt via the self-certification form for people vaccinated abroad.  The form notes that this temporary exemption may expire once further guidance is issued and continued deployment in a care home may depend on a complete course of an authorised COVID-19 vaccination.
