Yellow Fever Vaccine Exemption

Yellow Fever Vaccine Exemption Certificate

If you are unable to have a yellow fever vaccine for medical reasons, you may require an exemption certificate as evidence.

Many countries around the world require either a yellow fever vaccination certificate of a QR coded, vaccine exemption certificate, to enable entry.

Our doctors can provide you with a same-day yellow fever exemption certificate that will confirm that you are advised against taking the yellow fever vaccine, due to associated health risks. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.

  • Your name and date of birth.
  • Medical confirmation that you should avoid the yellow fever vaccine,
  • Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.

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.

 

What will I need to supply?

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
