Ontario confirms there are only two valid medical exemptions from COVID-19 vaccines
TORONTO — When Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine passport rolls out on Sept. 22, individuals with medical exceptions must show proof confirming why they can’t get the shot.
Ontario’s Ministry of Health told CTV News Toronto last week that there are only two valid medical exemptions from COVID-19 vaccinations.
The first would be an allergic reaction to a component of the vaccine within an individual, which must be confirmed by an allergist or immunologist.
The second would be if an individual suffered myocarditis or pericarditis after the first dose of a vaccine.
